Women’s Charter Award now open

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.

Nominations will be judged using the following criteria:

How the nominee made a difference to the community, particularly within the Greater Shepparton area
How the nominee has acknowledged and embraced diversity
How the nominee inspired and encouraged women

GSWCAAC Charter Champion Councillor Dinny Adem believes recognising people and groups who have made a positive difference to women’s lives is important.

“The GSWCAAC is aware there is a lot of great work going on in the community – work that has a positive impact on women”, said C Adem.

“The GSWCAAC wants to acknowledge this work and highlight the efforts of people within the community, in the hope that it will inspire others.”
