Right
across Greater Geelong, women are making highly valuable contributions to our
community and to our lives every single day.
The
Women in Community Life Awards aim to acknowledge those women, to recognise
their achievements and to celebrate the impact that women in our community
continue to have.

The

It

Geelong region and I look forward to seeing some quality nominations for the
2025 event.
