Julia Spicer OAM grew up in a small rural community and now lives with her husband Tony on at Goondiwindi, QLD.

Julia, the child of two teachers, has clearly been influenced by her parents vocation. She’s a teacher, a sharer, someone who likes to see others rise and shine - and in some ways this is her life’s work - getting regional Australia and it’s people on the map - and helping others to develop projects and businesses that give opportunity to people living outside of our cities.

Fresh out of an 18 month stint as the first ever regionally based Chief Entrepreneur of QLD, Julia is about to launch something new......

The Connection Table is a really unique and dynamic networking platform developed by Julia in partnership with former Winner of the Agrifutures Rural Woman of the Year award and lady of many projects, Jo Palmer. 

At it’s core, The Connection Table is about shepherding talented people from rural and regional Australia into the best boards, advisories and leadership roles in this country. 

Basically these guys want rural voices to be heard and valued at every level of decision making and they see The Connection Table as the mechanism to make this happen.

It’s designed to become THE place for executives, government, corporates and industry to look to when searching for their next CEO, board of directors, leadership team etc etc. 

FULL DISCLOSURE: I’ve been asked to be an ambassador for The Connection Table - so you will not only see me on board but also be hearing more about it from me in the future.
