The Women in Community Life Awards was an incredible celebration last night. Huge congratulations to Nancy Donkers for her well deserved win of the General Award. Nancy has long been at the forefront of women’s issues and gender equality. Congratulations to Carolyn Pimentel who was overwhelmed to receive the Living with a Disability Award. Guest speaker Van Bodham was witty, entertaining and a great women’s advocate. Congratulations organisers.
