CALL FOR NOMINATIONS TO THE VICTORIAN HONOUR ROLL OF WOMEN
Member for Morwell, Russell Northe is calling for local nominations to the 2016 Victorian Honour Roll of Women (the Honour Roll).
Since its commencement in 2001, the Honour Roll has acknowledged and celebrated the outstanding achievements of 562 Victorian women who have contributed to change across a broad spectrum of passions and interests.
“In my work across the Morwell electorate I meet many remarkable women, who through their leadership and commitment are making lasting contributions to their regional and rural communities,” Mr Northe said.
"We have a great depth of talent in many fields of endeavour and the Honour Roll is an excellent initiative to ensure these women receive the recognition they deserve,” he said.
The successful nominees will be announced at a special event in March 2016, to coincide with International Women’s Day celebrations and Mr Northe said it would be tremendous to see some regional and rural nominations there.
Nominations are open for the following categories:
- Arts/Media
