Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said International Women’s Day provided an opportunity for everyone to reflect and celebrate the role women play in the world.
“As a woman in local government, I continue to be mentored and inspired by the women in this field who have come before me,” Cr Binks said.
“Pam Robinson OAM, Shire President of Violet Town when I was a young child, has encouraged me in nominating for both council and mayor.
“Pam’s founding role with Landcare and her commitment to representation and equality in government is an inspiration and I am grateful to have grown up with this example of strong female leadership.”
Cr Binks said she hoped the current Strathbogie Shire Council could inspire more women, gender-diverse and young people of all abilities to consider standing for council in the future.
“If we are to govern in a representative way, we need to ensure that people of all backgrounds are supported and mentored to participate,” she said.
International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on March 8 and this year’s campaign theme is #BreakTheBias.
There are several ways you can get involved in the day – a global movement celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
