Many know Ruth Fagan as one half of the outstanding management team of Raine and Horne Cowra however others now know her as one of Regional Development Australia (RDA) Central West’s most experienced members. Now, she has been appointed as the organisation’s new Chairperson.
Mrs Fagan has served on the Cowra Shire as a councillor for 15 years and lived in Cowra nearly four decades. She will take up the position after former Chair, Christine Weston, announced she was stepping down following almost three years in the role. Mrs Fagan said she was hoping to continue all the good work for the Central West and help businesses succeed in a challenging market place.
“Ms Weston successfully steered the organisation through the challenges of 2020 and has been a great leader,” she said. “She has been so helpful for local businesses too.
Through initiatives the RDA has demonstrated its ability to deliver on some great outcomes for the Central West.
“RDA Central West covers the 11 local government areas (LGA’s) of Bathurst, Blayney, Cabonne, Cowra, Forbes, Lachlan, Lithgow, Oberon, Orange, Parkes and Weddin and represents more than 180,000 people.”
“Over the next four years my priority, together with the members and team at RDA Central West, is to ensure the region continues to harness competitive advantages, seize economic opportunity and attract investment.” For more information, visit www.rdacentralwest.org.au
