Flynn Erich

Flynn Erich (FB: @NSWYoungFarmers), a passionate advocate for agriculture, rural, and regional communities, hails from Tamworth NSW. Despite being considered a "townie," Flynn's profound curiosity for agriculture was ignited during their time at Farrer Memorial Agricultural High School.

Following completion of the HSC, Flynn embarked on a diverse career journey. This path led them from working with community-focused magistrates in New England Northwest to bustling Sydney's Downing Centre. During the major lockdowns in Sydney in July 2021, Flynn seized a unique opportunity to work in the Cabinet Office of the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet, gaining invaluable insights into the decision-making process in the state.

In May of the following year, Flynn found their true calling as a senior policy advisor at NSW Farmers. This role granted them the chance to work closely with remarkable individuals and make a meaningful impact in the agricultural realm. When not immersed in their work, Flynn enjoys cooking inspired by Nigella Bites, going for long walks with sneaky coffee and almond croissant breaks, watching rugby, sharing a beer with friends, and cherishing quality time with family back home in Tamworth, particularly at the dam or on the motorbike.

Driven by their passion for agriculture, politics, and rural Australia, Flynn is resolute in their mission to effect positive change in the industry. With aspirations to transition into politics in the future, they aim to bring about an even greater impact on rural and regional communities.
