Clubs are encouraged to put forward at least one nominee for the Rotary Inspirational Women Awards 2015, which has been run in alternate years.  This will be the third such event (2011 was the first year).
 
The Rotary Inspirational Women Awards 2015 are to be presented at a gala luncheon in Sydney on Sunday 8 March 2015(International Women’s Day) at Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf, Pyrmont NSW.  All ACT & NSW Rotary Districts have partnered with Inner Wheel to promote this event and we are now seeking nominations for these prestigious awards.
 
The idea behind the awards is to highlight the work done in our communities by quiet achievers about whom little is known outside family and social circles, but whose efforts make a significant difference.  It is not about achieving high levels or status in one’s chosen profession, but about serving the community and as our Rotary motto states ‘Rotary About Self’.  It is directed at the non-Rotary community. It is about commitment, dedication, perseverance and proactivity improving the lives of others.
 
Any queries about the awards can be directed to the District Chair of the Rotary Inspirational Women Awards 2015 committee at Margaret.atkin@gmail.com on mobile 0409 924 047.
