Ministers’ Award for Women in Local Government
Congratulations are in order for Councillor Reena Jethi for yet another achievement in her illustrious career. Reena Jethi has won the Ministers’ Award for Women in Local Government 2019 as an Elected Representative. The Ministers’ Award for Women in Local Government celebrates the contribution of women to local government in NSW. In addition to recognizing the significant contribution of Award winners, the Awards aim to encourage more women to take on leadership roles in local government in NSW.
During a special ceremony held at NSW Parliament House. Councillor Jethi was acknowledged for her devotion to continued learning and her advocacy for vital resources for The Hills. She is one of the 4 women on the Council who works tirelessly to make a positive contribution to society.
In her message marking the occasion, mayor Michelle Byrnes said that local Councils used to be dominated by men, but more and more women are putting up their hands to run for Council and for Mayor. This is great of course and shows that we have come a long way towards representation reflective of the general community.
Ms Byrnes also added that Councillor Jethi is an inspiration to women locally and those from non-English speaking backgrounds, proving that a political career is both realistic and conceivable, and also by giving them the courage to speak up on issues they may have been previously silent on. Councillor Jethi leads by example and her active role in the region shows how important it is to have women involved in Local Government.
Reena Jethi is no stranger to the Indian community in Sydney. An extremely hard working Councillor with a successful career in teaching, Reena is also the CEO of Kuber Vaults – the first safety box facility in the Hills which is set to complete 2 successful years later in 2019.
Reena Jethi performs all her roles with a focus on creating excellence and making a positive difference to people’s lives and environment. We wish Reena Jethi more success in future and may she continue to scale new heights in all her new ventures.
