Tasmania’s innovative and exceptional business women will soon have the opportunity to be recognised for their dedicated hard work and achievements in the business world, with entries for the 2016 Telstra Tasmanian Business Women’s Awards opening today.
The Telstra Tasmanian Business Women’s Awards, now in its 22nd year, recognise and reward the courage, leadership and creativity of Australia’s most brilliant business women and play a critical role in raising the profile of women in business.
“There are many business women in Tasmania from a diverse range of working backgrounds who are achieving great things and have demonstrated courageous and successful leadership. The Awards provide an opportunity to recognise these women.
“These women are driving our states economic growth and continue to excel in their fields. We admire them for their hard work and encourage them to strive to achieve even greater things.
“I urge everyone in the community to stand behind our outstanding business women by nominating them for the 2016 Telstra Tasmanian Business Women’s Awards as a way to show our support.”
Anyone can nominate a business woman they admire, with entries open from 2 May until 20 June 2016 across six Award categories: Entrepreneur Award, For Purpose and Social Enterprise Award, Public Sector and Academia Award, Corporate and Private Award, Young Business Women’s Award, and for the first time, there will be a category to recognise Business Women in Asia.
Entries open from 2 May until 20 June 2016, and nominating is simple and can be completed online by visiting www.telstrabusinesswomensawards.com and nominators can call the Telstra Business Women’s Awards on 1800 817 536 for further information.
State and Territory winners of the Telstra Business Women’s Awards will be announced at gala events to be held later this year, with the national awards, including the announcement of the Telstra Business Woman of the Year taking place at a gala dinner in Melbourne on Wednesday 23 November 2016.
The Telstra Tasmanian Business Women’s Awards are a wonderful opportunity to recognise the many Tasmanian Women who are excelling in private, non-government and government sectors.
The Liberal Government is a strong supporter of business and jobs. The Awards are a fantastic opportunity to recognise our outstanding business women whilst encouraging other women to follow in their footsteps.
