Information for potential female Councillors

Published on 21 June 2024

Women who are interested in standing for Council at the October 2024 Glenelg Shire Council election are being encouraged to attend a special information session next week.

The Municipal Association of Victoria, in partnership with Victorian councils, is conducting the ‘Women X Stand for Council’ session from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on Wednesday, 26 June.

Those attending will hear from three female Councillors on their experiences, as well as the Australian Women in Local Government Association (ALGWA) who will outline the program of events, support and mentoring they provide to female Councillors and other programs that support women such as Pathways to Politics and Women for Election.

While the in-person session is being hosted at Kingston City Council in South East Melbourne, regional Victorians are able to take part online.
