The Young Leaders Advisory Board (Y-LAB) was established in 2019 to harness the ideas of young talent in the rail industry to inform the issues, projects and priorities the ARA pursues. Y-LAB reports to the ARA Board and provides regular updates and advice to support our advocacy agenda. Interested applicants must submit the following to mailto:ncurrey@ara.net.au: • A written statement of 200-250 words addressing the question “What can you bring to Y-LAB?”
To ensure diversity, member organisations currently represented will not be able to secure a second representative on Y-LAB. ARTC, TfNSW, Ricardo Rail, and JHG are represented by ongoing Y-LAB members and therefore nominees from these organisations will not be accepted this round. A copy of the Y-LAB strategic plan for 2022-23 is available here.
