Our Districts

The Society is divided into six districts, each with their own leadership and planning. The District Councils represent the Society in showcasing rural excellence in their District. They implement RAS activities in their district, as the RAS operational arm across New Zealand. They do this by supporting members to connect, educate, excel and innovate locally.
