Winner of the 2007
Leadership Achievement Award for Women, Emma Kirkwood, Founder of the Stillbirth
Foundation said this upon receiving the Award,
“The Centre for Leadership
for Women is a fabulous resource for women working on a voluntary basis in the
community and I wish I had learned of the organisation earlier. I can only
imagine the time that it would have taken each of you in assessing the
applications and discussing the merits of each. Thank you sincerely for
your efforts. As much as I love what I do, my work with the Stillbirth
Foundation is truly thankless, and to receive recognition of my time and dreams
is wonderful and has provided me with inspiration that I am on the right path
and must continue! My win has not only delighted me, but also those women who
work with the Stillbirth Foundation, so your choice has made many people happy.”
With the Winner of the 2008 Award receiving $1500, the
Finalist receiving 1000 and four short-listed candidates receiving $800 each,
the Award in its third year continues to celebrate grassroots leadership and
innovation by Australian women.
