Today’s guest is someone I’ve admired for years — Danica Leys, CEO of the Country Women’s Association of NSW. If you think the CWA is just scones and sponge cakes, think again. Under Danica’s leadership, the organisation has been a powerful voice for rural communities, tackling some of the state’s most pressing issues in health, education and agriculture.

We talk about her unexpected journey from agronomy to law to leading one of Australia's most iconic member organisations, the power of lived experience in advocacy and what it takes to build visibility and influence in regional leadership. This is one for the rural change-makers — and anyone who’s ever wondered how one voice becomes many.
