Terry Bracks in Victorian Honour Roll
|
On the 16th March our Founding Chair, Terry Bracks, was inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women for her work in establishing Western Chances. The honour roll acknowledges and celebrates the achievements of inspirational women in Victoria and ensures that the legacy of these women is recorded and passed on to future generations.
Only 20 women were inducted in 2011 and Terry was the only one from the West. This is a great endorsement of the positive contribution that Western Chances is making to the lives of young people in the West and we just wanted to say well done and congratulations Terry.
