Encourage and support our young
professionals to become hands-on
in their local shows.
Facilitate communication between
shows and groups as well as be
the main source of information to

man power; a state-wide body
cannot possible look after the
whole state however we can look
after YOU who can look after
your areas of the state.
Develop corporate governance
skills in young people and give
executive committee experience.
Work with the RAS Youth
Group to encourage greater
fusion and cooperation across
local, regional and state levels.
Provide the opportunity for
personal and professional
development as well as an
educational platform for our
local urban citizens.
