Telstra Tasmanian Business Women’s Awards

The Liberal Government is a strong supporter of Tasmanian businesses and business people.

As Minister for Women it was fantastic to attend the presentations for the 2014 Telstra Tasmanian Business Women’s Awards last night, and to present the prestigious Business Woman of the Year Award to Tasmania Police Assistant Commissioner Donna Adams.

The Awards are a fantastic chance to recognise the many Tasmanian women who are excelling in business. This is the twentieth year of the Awards, making it the longest standing national business awards program for women in Australia.

The strength of the finalists and indeed the number of outstanding Tasmanian businesswomen in our state makes the presentation of the Business Woman of the Year Award to Assistant Commissioner Adams recognition of the highest quality.

She will now join the winners in other categories of the Tasmanian Awards as national finalists.

As well as providing recognition and raising the profile of our exceptional Tasmanian business women, the Awards also provide an opportunity for them to connect and network with their peers across Australia.

I congratulate Assistant Commissioner Adams and all the Tasmanian Telstra Business Women Award winners, and wish them the best of luck in the National Finals to be announced on 26 November.
