Leadership awards

Leadership Awards recognise members for significant leadership, at a national level, to the Home Economics Institute of Australia Inc., or to the field of home economics.
Leadership — that is, promoting initiated direction — may be demonstrated in relation to one significant project, process or event, or across a number of projects, processes or events. Leadership in this sense should not be confused with effective service or management.
