Opportunity International Australia is excited to announce that Helen Cartwright, our Marketing & Communications Director, has been nominated as a finalist for the Telstra Young Business Woman of the Year (NSW) Award. Now in its 16th year, The Telstra Young Business Woman Award honours women whose careers demonstrate the passion, expertise and determination that are needed for success. There were over 4000 applications this year alone, from all around the country.
From the Telstra Business Women’s Award website:“After a successful career in advertising and publishing, at the age of 30 Helen Cartwright decided to focus her talent and passion on helping others. This decision led to Helen joining the marketing team at Opportunity International Australia in 2006. Opportunity International Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to tackle world poverty. Today 34-year-old Helen is Marketing and Communications Director, providing direction and support across a range of marketing and communications strategies, specifically brand, donor communications, media relations and online. Helen says that 90 per cent of being able to sell a product is belief in it. Working for Opportunity International Australia, Helen aims to increase the organisation’s brand awareness and fundraising. Helen is involved in developing a community education and advocacy partnership with the Global Poverty Project. This is an organisation that is an advocate for the 1.4 billion people globally who are living in extreme poverty.”
The winners of the 2010 Telstra NSW Business Women’s Awards will be announced at a presentation luncheon at the Westin Sydney Grand Ballroom on 24 September. The NSW winners will then proceed to the national finals which will be announced in Melbourne on 11 November. Visit http://www.telstrabusinesswomensawards.com for more information.
