Inspiring South Australian Women’s Award

The Member for Stuart, Dan van Holst Pellekaan MP is pleased to advise nominations are open for the newly named Inspiring South Australian Women’s Award.

The award (previously known as Women Hold Up Half the Sky Award) acknowledges the outstanding contribution of women in the community and Mr van Holst Pellekaan says there are many extremely dedicated and capable women in the electorate of Stuart who would be very worthy nominees.
