Good to hear from you and thank you for sharing the information on your discussions within the Australian Rangeland Society and recommendation for Objective 2. This is an excellent recommendation and I will incorporate it. I would be very happy to have you
involved in this collaboration. I have sent out a doodle poll to find time to bring everyone to the table and begin discussing the proposal (<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://doodle.com/poll/sge58tc5giea7hti" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline;" class="">https://doodle.com/poll/sge58tc5giea7hti</a>)

<span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Yes, this is an important issue. The need for accessible educational opportunities for career development and advancement was also highlighted in a range of activities at the Sept 2019 biennial conference of
the Australian Rangeland Society. A paper on ‘<i class="">Building human capacity, capability and future leaders for Australia’s rangelands</i>’ was recently submitted for a special conference issue of The Rangeland Journal. This ms addresses the knowledge
and skills needs expressed by early and mid-career professionals, and experienced operatives views of what it takes to be an effective rangeland operative in OZ (i.e. advisor, researcher or rancher). It was based on hard and soft literature and a diversity
of personal experiences. This process has given us some very clear signals about the nature and priorities for development of training modules and other skill development initiatives.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

Karen Launchbaugh, Barb Hutchinson, Amber Dalke, Aaron Lien, and myself are starting work on a proposal to the USDA focused on development of a workforce training curricula for early and mid-career range management professionals. We feel that the output of
this project will help advance the profession of range management by providing support for the two Society for Range Management certification programs through test preparation curricula and continuing education opportunities and training opportunities for
state and federal land management personnel, while also providing a mechanism to enhance the sustainability of the Rangelands Partnership. Attached to this email is a brief prospectus of the project we envision. We would like to invite anyone with time and
an interest in the project to join us in collaboration. Please review the attachment and let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you on your decision.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
