Nominations for the City of Greater Geelong’s annual Women in Community Life Awards are open.
The awards, which will be presented at the City’s International Women’s Day event on Wednesday March 5 next year, acknowledge the contribution women have made to the Greater Geelong community, particularly in relation to advancing gender equality.
There will be four categories featured for next year’s awards: Leadership and Advocacy; First Nations Woman; Human Rights; and Strengthening Healthy Communities.
City of Greater Geelong chief executive Ali Wastie said the Women in Community Life Awards were an important event for the region.
“There are so many remarkable women in the Greater Geelong region doing incredible things every day, and it is such a special occasion when we gather to recognise their achievements and contributions to our community,” Ms Wastie said.
“I encourage everybody to think about all of the marvellous women in their lives and consider nominating them for one of these awards.”
To be eligible for an award a nominee must live, work or study in the Greater Geelong region and identify as a woman or gender non-binary person.
Organisations and community groups based in the Greater Geelong region can also be nominated.
Nominations close on Friday December 13 and further information can be found on the City’s Women in Community Life Awards page.
