It is with great pleasure that I present the biographies of the women selected for inclusion on the 2009
Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women.

The life stories of these women are inspirational. They have made a real difference in the lives of others
and have assisted in building a culture of social inclusion.

Their diverse stories reveal an impressive range of contributions to the Tasmanian community. Some
of these women are quiet achievers, who have worked tirelessly for their local communities. Other
women have made contributions at a level of state, national and international significance.

The Honour Roll salutes women who have contributed so much to our wonderful community, from
all walks of life and fields of endeavour, from humanitarian pursuits and community service, to business,
science and the environment. The members of the Honour Roll have set a precedent that will continue
to inspire all members of the Tasmanian community.

Through this public recognition, we can share their stories and celebrate their achievements now and in
the future.

I commend these biographies to you and I’m left in no doubt that you will feel as inspired as I was
when reading about the lives of these remarkable Tasmanian women.
