Greater Shepparton Women’s Charter Alliance Advisory Committee won the LGPro Award for Organisational Diversity at the recent LGPro Conference.
Greater Shepparton City Council Director Community Kaye Thomson said “we are elated with the award, the Committee has worked really hard since 2012 and organised a number of events for the community throughout the year. It is great to see the committee’s hard work recognised”.
“All the activities of the Alliance are designed to acknowledge, support, and celebrate the diversity of the Greater Shepparton community. The core values are to ensure that its activities and events are accessible to all and these are the reasons for the award for Organisational Diversity.”
