"As the ACT Minster for Women I am delighted
to offer my support to the Australian Centre for Leadership for Women National
Leadership Award ‘Sustaining Women’s Empowerment in Communities and
Organisations’.
This new National Award supports the ACT Government’s vision for women
and girls in our community to realise their potential, be recognised for their
contribution and to engage in leadership and decision making roles.
The Award will advance the status of women by recognising individuals and
groups who develop sustainable initiatives to empower women in a community or
organisation.
I wish the Australian Centre for Leadership for Women every success with
the Leadership Achievement Awards and strongly encourage women to nominate.
It is important to provide incentives for
individuals and organisations to encourage initiatives for achieving and
sustaining empowerment. I congratulate the Centre for Leadership for Women
in implementing this Award." (13/4/11)
