Awards shine the spotlight on young leaders
2012 Leadership Award
Young community and business leaders had the opportunity to win $10,000 to help develop their careers, by entering the University of Newcastle Leadership Award.
The Leadership Award is for people aged between 25 to 39 years, who live and work in the Central Coast, Hunter and Mid-North Coast regions.
The presentation of the Award was made at the Chancellor's Dinner on Wednesday 30 May 2012.
“We consider that today’s young leaders are the key to the future and that it is dynamic leadership that will ensure delivery of world class innovation to our regional communities. This is why investing in our young people today is vital for the community to reap rewards tomorrow,” University of Newcastle Vice-Chancellor, Professor Caroline McMillen, said.
“Nominees for the University of Newcastle Leadership Awards need to demonstrate initiative, creativity and dedication in both their professional career and community life.”
The University of Newcastle Leadership Award is a partnership between the University and FordComm.
