Zonta members believe that young women are the key to women’s advancement in the field of public service, and so offer the $500 Young Woman in Public Affairs Award (YWPA).
YWPA convener Ruth Cason said young women were involved in so many interesting pursuits that benefit our communities and economy.
Let us know about them so we can recognise and support their achievements.

"We are trying to encourage young women who are public affairs minded, and recognising young women who have become involved in and around their community," Ruth said.
"They may be showing really good leadership skills at their schools and we're acknowledging all that.
Ruth said the $1000 STEM award was to promote, encourage, assist and reward the participation of young women in tertiary courses which lead to careers in areas where women are under-represented.
The awards are open to young women living in Armidale or surrounding districts. Check with school principals or email: armidale@zontadistrict24.org about the YWPA or the STEM scholarship as applications are closing soon.
