Alcoa Foundation 2007 Outstanding Community Worker Award

Nationals Member for Benalla, Bill Sykes, encourages everyone to get behind the Alcoa Foundation 2007 Outstanding Community Worker Award and nominate a worker from an Australian community organisation who does an outstanding job.

Dr Sykes said, “The Alcoa Foundation Award is a great concept. The first award of its kind, it aims to recognise those workers in the community sector who really do an outstanding job. We all deal with them, let’s take this opportunity to show our appreciation and nominate someone we think deserves some recognition for their efforts, someone who ‘stands out in the pack’”.

“There are many eligible people working in the community sector around the Benalla Electorate. They assist in many different fields including agriculture, health, education and trade.”

The Alcoa Foundation will award $5,000 in professional capacity building to the community sector worker who best exemplifies the sector’s ideals of dedication, excellence, and service. This award is open to all staff of Australian community organisations.

There are many ways to be outstanding so the criteria for this award is simply for two people to nominate a community worker and show why the community worker is so respected for their work, and how the worker goes above and beyond their call of duty.

Nominations for the Alcoa Foundation 2007 Outstanding Community Worker Award close on Friday, 19 October 2007.

Application forms are available from: www.ourcommunity.com.au/communityworkeraward
or by contacting Peta Clark, Grant Researcher, at Bill Sykes’ office Ph 03 5762 2100.
