Kyogle Council News 12 Apr 2021

A workshop aimed at equipping more women to run for local government will be held in Lismore on Saturday 24 April.

The six hour workshop will be run by Women for Election Australia (WFEA) with funding from the NSW Government and is open to women from throughout the region.

The training workshops have been designed not only to inform women on how to get elected – addressing the practical challenges – they also detail the roles and benefits of being a councillor.

In NSW, local government elections will be held on Saturday, 4 September.

The Lismore workshop is on of a series to be held in regional centres and metropolitan Sydney over the coming month.
