Our RRR Women’s Awards 2021 has been run and won and was a time for us to celebrate our winners’ contributions to their communities, businesses, and industries within RRR.
The RRR Women’s Awards are a completely new initiative in awards, and hopefully the start of a benchmark for highlighting the outstanding work these women are doing to keep our regions vibrant, supported, and alive.
Congratulations to all our 2021 RRR Women’s Award winners!

RRR Creative Woman of the Year – Olivia Everitt
The artists, the authors, the designers, the innovators, the ones who, regardless of the challenges of distance, isolation, and lack of services, always find time to augment the local community and others by sharing their skills and passion to inspire us all.
RRR Women’s Community Builder of the Year – Kristy Board
This woman cannot help but give back. She contributes to her community through current and past NFP work, she volunteers for everything!

We all have one in our community, who goes above and beyond with her passion and drive.

RRR Women’s Champion of the Year – Robin McConchie
She empowers, supports and highlights RRR Women by building honest relationships.
