2010 Indigenous Governance Awards: Call For Nominations
'My work on these Awards has changed my view of the world, changed my approach to what I do. What these people are achieving and how they do what they do has come to inform everything I say and everything I stand for in promoting the well being of my people. Success is now my guiding light, as it must be for all Australians who want to see it replicated across the country'.
Professor Mick Dodson, Chair, Indigenous Governance Awards
The Indigenous Governance Awards were created by Reconciliation Australia in partnership with BHP Billiton to identify, celebrate and promote effective Indigenous governance. The national awards highlight success in Indigenous Australia - strong leadership, good management, effective partnerships and brave, creative thinking.
There are two award categories - organisations established since January 1998 and organisations established before January 1998. Each category carries award money of $10,000 for the winning organisation and $5,000 for the highly commended.
The first three years of the awards (2005, 2006 and 2008) drew 142 applications, with a total of $90,000 awarded to organisations to continue building and developing good governance. The achievements of the applicants, finalists and winners in previous years were widely reported in the Indigenous and mainstream media.
Indigenous organisations across Australia are encouraged to showcase their achievements by entering the awards.
