Jacquie Petrusma: Nominations Open for Honour Roll of Women

The Liberal Government is committed to advancing gender equality and tackling issues facing women and girls in Tasmania – as evidenced by the appointment of a designated Minister for Woman for the first time since 2006.

We are pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women for 2015.

Since its inception in 2005, the Roll has honoured Tasmanian women who have made an outstanding contribution to the State.

Previous inductees to the Honour Roll have included scientists, nurses, activists, artists, businesswomen and others who have worked tirelessly for their community.

We know that many women and women’s organisations do not receive the recognition they deserve. This is an ideal opportunity to showcase the inspiring lives of Tasmanian women.

Nominations for the 2015 Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women are open until 26 September 2014. The nominations will be assessed by an independent judging panel.

Nomination forms are available at www.dpac.tas.gov.au/divisions/cdd/for_and_about/women.
Jacquie Petrusma, Minister for Women
