The Beaudesert Zonta Club is seeking nominations for Zonta International’s Young Women in Leadership Award.
Applicants must be aged between 16 and 19 on April 1st and demonstrate an active commitment to volunteerism, knowledge of Zonta International and its programs and commitment to the organisation’s mission of creating a better world for women and girls, among other criteria.
State Member for Scenic Rim, Jon Krause, urged young women to consider making an application.
“Our electorate is home to many inspiring female leaders who are working hard to make a difference in their communities,” said Mr Krause.
“I encourage any young woman who shares Zonta International’s core objectives, to advocate for women’s rights and recognition and to ensure that every woman can reach her full potential, to nominate today.”
Applicants are not only eligible for the Beaudesert Club award, but also for one of 37 international awards, each valued at US$5000. For secondary and tertiary students, these monetary prizes can also be used as scholarships for tuition and/or living expenses.
