2021 is the ninth consecutive year that we at QRRRWN will identify and celebrate the exceptional strengths of the outstanding women who live, work, achieve, volunteer and/or are in service of Queensland’s rural, regional and remote (RRR) areas.
QRRRWN’s Awards program applauds the achievements of rural, regional and remote women in all their diversity and skill and is a platform to both recognise their achievements and to connect them with QRRRWN’s network, as they become alumni of the program. Their skills are nurtured and developed by a series of webinars which encourage nominees to work with mentors to articulate their work, both volunteer and paid.
Having been forced to conduct our Awards presentations online last year we are keen to see our Awards once again as part of our Annual Conference to be held in Dalby 22- 24 October 2021.
