Shire calls for nominations of inspiring women
NOMINATIONS are open for the Inspiring Women of Moyne awards in the lead-up to council’s International Women’s Day celebrations.
In its fifth year running, the awards provide an opportunity to celebrate women who – through their work, studies, families, relationships or community involvement – contribute to the Moyne community.
Mayor councillor Karen Foster said the awards provide a great opportunity to recognise the women who make an impact on our lives.
“We are looking for nominations for women from all walks of life,” she said.
“I’d encourage anyone who knows a woman who inspires them in any way to put them forward for nomination.
“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.”
Cr Foster said the nomination process is simple and encouraged nominators to provide as much detail as possible to assist with the judging process.
Nominations are open until Monday, February 17 for women over the age of 18 who are residents of Moyne Shire.
Winners will be presented at a community event at Charlie’s on East in Port Fairy on Friday, February 28 from 5pm.
Nominate online at www.moyne.vic.gov.au/inspiringwomen or at council’s customer service centres in Mortlake and Port Fairy.
