A female leader in the NFP sector has won the 2016 Telstra New South Wales Business Women’s For Purpose and Social Enterprise Award.
Anne Bryce has spent over 30 years working within the disability, human services and health sectors. Following a variety of management roles, she was appointed CEO of Hornsby Challenge in 2003 (later renamed Achieve Foundation) and led the organisation through significant growth and a merger with another equal-sized disability organisation in 2009.
Achieve Australia is a not-for-profit disability services organisation, with a vision of social inclusion for people living with a disability.
Services include specialist disability accommodation, health and wellbeing support, social education and personal development for independence, and the development of skills for employment and volunteering opportunities.
In addition to her role at Achieve Australia, Bryce is also a board member of National Disability Services (NDS), the industry peak body for non-government disability services organisations, as well as Chair of the NSW Division of NDS.
Joe Pollard, Telstra Business Women’s Awards Ambassador, Group Executive Media, and Chief Marketing Officer, said that the NSW winners are exceptional business women.
“The winners of the 2016 Telstra NSW Business Women’s Awards are brilliant, passionate and courageous women who are thriving in their chosen fields,” Pollard said.
“Not only do they have the courage to challenge the status quo but they also demonstrate exceptional business acumen and strong leadership skills.”
Now in their 22nd year, the Telstra Business Women’s Awards recognise and reward the courage, leadership and creativity of brilliant business women.
