If you know of someone in the community who has made an outstanding contribution vocationally, please let Mandy Van or myself know. Once identified, we can complete a nomination for a Vocational Excellence Award to be presented at District Conference in Newcastle in March 2019, if successful.
The Rotary Awards for Vocational Excellence were inaugurated in 1982 by the Rotary District 9685 Vocational Service Committee. The first Awards were presented to three candidates at the 1983 District Conference in Bathurst by PDG Graham Turnidge.
The concept was accepted by the Clubs of District 9685 in subsequent years as an integral part of their Vocational Service program.
