The FMG Buddy Program

The Buddy Program is an initiative developed to connect with Finance professionals in rural Councils. Often these councils are a considerable distance from the city which can make networking and attending meetings and seminars/conferences difficult. The Local Government environment we all work in today is ever changing and highly regulated. We recognise that it can be beneficial to discuss topical issues with others working in the same field.

The Buddy Program has been designed to assign two FMG committee members to each rural council. “Buddy one“ will email each finance contact person from the rural council introducing themselves and the “Buddy two” offering their contact details so can call or email to discuss issues or ideas they may have.

The program is currently being rolled out with some Buddies being in regular contact with the rural counterparts and some contact their Buddy when the need arises.

If you are a Finance professional working in a Rural Council and have been contacted by a Buddy I would appreciate any feedback you may have. If you have not yet had contact from a Buddy please ring me on 83840121 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
