ACHIEVEMENTS

2010 key achievements

I am passionate about encouraging and enabling more women to become involved in local government and senior decision making roles within the community. I was named the Hobsons Bay City Council Women's Charter Champion in 2010 and this is a role I love and take very seriously. In November we held a very successful Women’s Forum with residents from all sectors of our community and a list of beneficial suggestions and actions was put together. More forums will be held during 2011 to start putting into practice the suggestions we have received which we anticipate will help our resident females to get closer to reaching their potential within this wonderful city.
