Zoe Malone - 2019 NT Rural Women’s Award winner

Darwin resident Zoe Malone was awarded the 2019 Northern Territory AgriFutures™ Rural Women’s Award at a ceremony at Parliament House on Wednesday 27 March.

Zoe recognised that many grassroots community groups struggle to keep up with increasing governance and accountability demands, and received a $10,000 Westpac bursary to bring to fruition a project to provide tools and information to grassroots organisations that will empower volunteers and community groups to take charge of their governance.

Zoe has lived in Darwin for more than 10 years, but previously spent most of her life in rural and regional Australia. She is passionate about the role people and communities play in creating strong and vibrant regions.
