About The Greater Shepparton Women’s Charter Alliance Advisory Committee
The Greater Shepparton Women’s Charter Alliance Advisory Committee (GSWCAAC) is a community advisory committee of the Greater Shepparton City Council, and is part of a broader network of Local Government Area (LGA) advisory committees across the state that are guided and informed by the Victorian Local Government Women’s Charter.
The GSWCAAC is made up of volunteers and, with Council support, aims to increase women’s participation in key decision making forums in the community and in democratic governance. The GSWCAAC supports three main principles: Gender Equity, Diversity, and Active Citizenship.
The purpose of the GSWCAAC Award is to recognise women, men and groups who make a difference to the community in which they live. The GSWCAAC Award is about acknowledging any individual or group whose actions impact upon women within the Greater Shepparton area in a positive way.
