Do you know an inspirational woman?
DO you know a woman living in Moyne Shire who inspires you?
Nominations are now open for the Inspiring Women of Moyne awards in the lead-up to council’s International Women’s Day celebrations.
Now in its fifth year, the awards provide an opportunity to celebrate women who, through their work, studies, families, relationships or community involvement, contribute to our Moyne community.
Mayor Cr Karen Foster said the awards were a great opportunity to recognise women who make an impact on our lives.
“We are looking for nominations for women from all walks of life and I’d encourage anyone who knows a woman who inspires them in any way to nominate them,” Cr Foster said.
“They need not have a high profile or have achieved hugely significant things - all that really matters is that they are in some way inspiring to you.
“More broadly, International Women’s Day is a fantastic opportunity to champion women and the enormous contributions that they make while we continue to take steps toward greater gender equality,” she said.
Winners will be presented at a community event at Charlie’s on East Beach (Port Fairy) on Friday, February 28 from 5pm.
Nominations are open until next Monday, February 17 for women over the age of 18 who are residents of Moyne Shire.
Cr Foster said the nomination process was simple and she encouraged nominators to provide as much detail as possible to assist with the judging process.
Nominations can be placed online at www.moyne.vic.gov.au/inspiringwomen or at council’s customer service centres in Mortlake and Port Fairy.
