Country Conference remains the highlight of the Country Labor calendar and offers a unique opportunity for rural and regional delegates to meet in country nSW to formulate the policy and share experiences. Country Conference in 2012 will be held in Cessnock at the Cessnock Performing Arts Centre from Friday 24 Sunday 26 February 2012. In 2012, we are reforming Country Conference to focus more on training and policy development. Conference will be expanded to include a oneday training session for potential candidates in the 2012 Local Government elections. There will also be the opportunity to break into smaller policy workshops, hearing from policy experts and branch members. For more information, check out
Country Labor Dialogue is our monthly newsletter. It provides updates on whats happening around country NSW.
Inside this special edition of Country Labor Dialogue, we outline the future training plans for the year ahead, recap on our successful dinners held to honour past Labor figures, thank our State and Federal candidates and discuss our next reformed Country Labor Conference. Make sure you check out the new Country Labor website:

Country Conference will be expanded to allow more training opportunities for delegates and Party members.
Over the last 12 months, Country Labor has campaigned hard in our local communities for both the State and Federal elections, celebrated our Labor history and gathered together to discuss how to reform our Party.

For more information on new train ing programs visit www.countrylabor.com.au/ training
We have conducted these training programs around the State from tweed Heads to Wagga Wagga, from Broken Hill to Forster. Over the next 12 months, we will be launching a new range of training programs.
Candidate training
At the 2012 Country Conference, we will be expanding the Conference to three days to offer a one-day training program for future candidates. The 2012 training will be particularly relevant for those Party Members who are considering standing in the upcoming Local Government elections. Whilst NSW Labor always runs training programs for candidates in either Local, State and Federal elections, these training programs occur once candidates are endorsed. The training program at Country Conference will be aimed at any Party Member considering standing as a candidate in the future.
