DO YOU know a wonderful woman from the West?
Western metropolitan region MP Andrew Elsbury has called for residents of the western suburbs to nominate ‘extraordinary’ females for the 2013 Victorian Honour Roll of Women.
The honour roll acknowledges women from across the state who have made a lasting impact on their communities through leadership, commitment and hard work.
Almost 500 women have been inducted on the honour roll since it began in 2001 as part of Victoria’s Centenary of Federation celebrations.
“I encourage people to nominate women across the western suburbs who have made a significant contribution locally, nationally or internationally,” Mr Elsbury said.
“If you know of a woman who has been instrumental in making an exceptional difference in their community or field of endeavour, then nominating them is a great way to recognise their contributions.
“They may come from the many diverse areas where women are making a difference, including health, science, law, social justice, environment, arts, media and education.”
Twenty new honour roll inductees will be announced as part of the International Women’s Day celebrations in March next year.
Nominations are open until Friday 7 December this year. See www.dhs.vic.gov.au/womenshonourroll for application forms.
