Who can nominate?
Anyone who is interested in improving policing and law enforcement for women can nominate someone who is making a real difference to policing for women. To nominate someone for an award, all you need to do is:
Please make sure that you address the criteria for the relevant award and provide examples. Informative and succinct supporting documentation is encouraged, for example a supporting statement from a nominated officer’s supervisor, women’s network, union, feminist or other supporting organisation would be useful in assisting the selection panel.
For organisations nominating themselves, rhetoric and publicity material is not generally as compelling as a supporting statement from the organisation’s women’s network, anti-discrimination body, feminist organisation or other supporting person/organisation.
Selection Process
A selection committee will shortlist category finalists and select the award recipients. All finalists will be notified in September. The award recipients will be announced at the Awards Presentation Dinner.
The recipient of the Audrey Fagan Memorial Award is selected from all the nominations.
The selection panel comprises the Council’s President or Vice President, members of the law enforcement and policing communities, and community representatives. All nominations are considered on merit.
Awards Presentation Dinner
The Awards will be presented at a dinner on 16 October 2010 at the Marriott Hotel, Brisbane. Everyone is welcome to attend the Awards Presentation dinner. Tickets to the dinner can will be available for purchase from this website from June 2010.
