Women in leadership shine
Published on 18 October 2024
Mornington Peninsula Shire is proud to announce that Cintia Rodriguez from our Asset Strategy team has been awarded the Australian Local Government Women’s Association (ALGWA) Victoria 2024 Bursary Award. This annual award was established in 1989 to encourage and assist women working in the local government sector to further their education.
“I am truly honoured and humbled to receive the ALGWA VIC Bursary Award,” said Cintia. “This recognition means so much to me, not only for the financial support but for what it represents—empowering women in local government by acknowledging the importance of hard work, resilience and the value of continuously pushing for progress.
“I would also like to acknowledge that I would not have received this award without the incredible support of Mornington Peninsula Shire. Their commitment to helping me fund my Master’s degree has been invaluable and I am deeply grateful for the opportunities and encouragement I have received while working here.”
Cintia is currently studying a Masters in Construction Management at Swinburne University. Huge congratulations Cintia!
