Congratulations to the five local women who were inducted on to the Heather Mutimer Honour Roll on 8 March, International Women's Day:
In 2005, the Heather Mutimer Honour Roll was established to pay tribute to the women in the Hepburn Shire whose contributions, courage and examples have led to significant social change for women. The roll provides a forum to acknowledge women who have made a difference in our Shire. By acknowledging these women, past and present, they become role models for generations to come.
There was a terrific turn up for the event held in Daylesford. Thank you to everyone who played a role in the evening. Read about some of the amazing things these women have done in our community below, along with the other inductees.
International Women’s Day is celebrated across the world on 8 March each year. The purpose of the day is to recognise women and their achievements.
