THE Greater Shepparton Women’s Charter Committee (GSWCC) is encouraging members of the Greater Shepparton community to nominate themselves or an individual for the Greater Shepparton Women’s Charter Committee Women’s Award.
The purpose of the Women’s Award is to recognise women who make a difference to the community in which they live, work, study or volunteer. The award is about acknowledging women whose actions positively impact upon women within Greater Shepparton.
Nominations will be judged using the following criteria:
How the nominee represented the values of the Greater Shepparton Women’s Charter of Gender Equity, Diversity and Active Citizenship in their involvement with Greater Shepparton How the nominee contributed to improving opportunities and empowering women within Greater Shepparton Why have the nominees’ actions have made a difference in for women and girls in Greater Shepparton
According to Council, nominations will be accepted from all walks of life, roles and ranks, ethnicity and sexuality. No efforts are too large or too small. Quite simply, if you identify as a woman, and have brought about change in the space of gender equity, been a role model for others, and have embraced diversity, then it’s your time to shine.
The Greater Shepparton Women’s Charter Committee is an advisory committee of Council and is part of a broader network of Councils supporting the Victorian Local Government Women’s Charter.
The GSWCC is made up of community members and, with Council support, aims to increase women’s participation in key decision-making forums, opportunities for women, gender equity and diversity.
Nominations close on Friday, February 5.
