SkillsConnection CEO wins Leadership Award at Victorian Disability Sector Awards
After many years of service to people with a disability in Colac and South Western Victoria Marita Brady, CEO of SkillsConnection has been recognised as an industry leader.
At the Victorian Disability Sector Awards on Thursday 26th of April at Federation Square in Melbourne Marita received the 2012 Leadership Award for her contribution to disability services in the state.
Nomination for the award is only open to people who have worked in the sector for at least ten years and shown exceptional skill and commitment in their leadership of a disability service.
Nominees must have made a significant contribution to developing services that result in better outcomes or opportunities for people with a disability and be recognised for their vision and professional approach by others in the industry.
The award was presented by the Minister for Community Services, the honourable Mary Wooldridge MP.
“It was enough of an honour to be nominated for this award” says Marita “so I could hardly believe it when they announced that I was the recipient.”
