Time to celebrate our outstanding business women
May 19, 2011
Federal Member for Murray, Sharman Stone today called for public recognition of outstanding local business women by urging the community to nominate them for the 2011 Telstra Business Women’s Awards.
The awards, which celebrate the achievements of amazing and inspirational business women, are now open for the 17th year.
“This prestigious awards program is an excellent opportunity to uncover our best business women and acknowledge the contribution they make within our community,” Sharman Stone said.
“The awards are open to all business women to participate, whether they are business owners, executives and employees in the private and corporate sector or leaders in community and government organisations.
“The electorate of Murray has many local business women who make a positive impact on countless lives every day. Nominating them for the Awards recognises the inspiration they have given to other women to reach and exceed their goals.
“For business women, the awards can be a rewarding experience that offers a chance to review their career, reset their goals and widen their business network,” Sharman Stone said.
