“These awards celebrate and recognise the strong, inspiring women who live and work in regional NSW,’ Ms Goward said.
“Women make up half the population and are integral to many of our communities in the Goulburn electorate, through hard work and dedication, which is why it is so important to recognise the contribution these women make.
“These awards are an excellent opportunity to nominate exceptional and highly-skilled women in the Goulburn electorate, or encourage them to apply for this unique opportunity.”
Applications are now open and close on Friday 30 October 2015, with the winner announced at a Gala Dinner in March 2016.
The NSW/ACT winner will receive a bursary of $10,000 and have the opportunity to participate in the RIRDC Australian Institute of Company Directors’ course.
This year’s winner was Cindy Cassidy, CEO of FarmLink Research, a not-for-profit farming systems group based at Temora, providing services to farmers and agribusiness across the region.
Cindy’s RIRDC Award project is improving knowledge that ensures agricultural extension maximises the use of research and development.
