——Speaker, I rise today to congratulate finalists chosen for the 2022 Rotary Inspirational Women's Awards, which celebrates the achievements and contributions of women in communities across NSW. I recently attended the event held at Parliament on behalf of the Minister for Women, the honourable Bronwyn Taylor and I must say, it was an incredibly engaging day. There were so many excellent candidates for the award, however judges were given the difficult task of narrowing the selection down to just 16 contenders. The finalists chosen were exceptional community leaders. It is so important to recognise the tireless and generous work they do in our local areas. Finalists came from all over the State, including uraward recipients on their nomination and look forward to the Awards Ceremony on the 11th of September.
