Celebrate and nominate the inspiring women in your life

Nominations are now open for the 2021 Inspiring Women in Isaac Awards, where men and woman alike can come together to celebrate the powerhouse females in our lives.

Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said the awards were a chance to nominate women of all ages and from all walks of life who help make the region a better place to live, work and play.

“We see inspiring women every day, and over the last 12 difficult months we’ve seen an outpouring from strong women determined to help their community recover from the ongoing global pandemic.

“This is our chance to celebrate the incredible resilience of women in Isaac and the valuable contributions they make to our communities,” she said.

"We are calling on residents to shine a spotlight on the inspirational stories and community contributions of some of the Isaac's finest women and help us celebrate the pure people power which drives our region.”

Mayor Baker said there were two award categories to nominate the women in our lives, the Inspiring Woman in Isaac and the Inspiring Young Woman in Isaac

“Nominees could be someone special in your family, workplace or community. We all know ordinary women who play an extraordinary role in our community.”

Mayor Baker said nominees and winners would be recognised at International Women’s Day events in communities across the region between Friday 5 March – Sunday 14 March which are open to men and women to attend

“International Women’s Day is a chance to showcase women who’ve fought against inequality and gender bias, kicked stereotypes to the curb and have helped to shape a more inclusive world,” she said.

Nominations can be completed online at speakup.isaac.qld.gov.au or forms can be collected from Council offices and libraries. Nominations close Wednesday, 17 February 2021.
