NSW DPI initiated the Hidden Treasures project to promote and archive the work of these remarkable women.
The NSW Department of Primary Industries’ (DPI) Rural Women’s Network program is seeking your help to uncover female volunteers within NSW rural communities before 28 July 2017.
These worthy women will be included in the 2017 Hidden Treasures Honour Roll acknowledging and celebrating their contributions to NSW rural communities.
Women are so often the backbone of families and communities and without their support many groups including charities, emergency services, the arts, environment, social justice, education and sporting organisations would struggle to survive.
NSW DPI initiated the Hidden Treasures project to promote and archive the work of these remarkable women.
It is not an award program but a public tribute to the vast number of women who give their time and energy to help others across rural, regional and remote regions.
NSW DPI looks forward to seeing women from diverse backgrounds who volunteer in your region included in this year’s Honour Roll as recognition of the valuable work they do.
An example of previous Hidden Treasures can be found at 2016 Hidden Treasures Honour Roll
The 2017 Hidden Treasures Honour Roll will be unveiled at the NSW Rural Women’s Gathering in Narrandera from 27-29 October.
