Three women have been lauded for their work inspiring others as part of an International Women’s Day celebration at Craigieburn Central.
Centre manager Christine McDonnell, Salvation Army senior soldier Dianne Morabito and Standbags store manager Simone Bux were nominated as ‘Inspiring Women of Craigieburn Central’ by fellow employees at the shopping centre.
Ms McDonnell was recognised for her work navigating the challenges of COVID-19 and her efforts to keep staff and the community safe.
She said she is most inspired by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinta Ardern and is personally most proud of her family.
Ms Morabito, who visits the centre on behalf of the Salvos each week, was nominated for her “very kind heart” and passion for helping others.
She said IWD was an opportunity to recognise the contributions women make in our community and around the world.
She is most inspired by Eva Burrow – a previous leader from the Salvation Army who she described as an incredible woman.
Ms Bux was recognised for being someone “to lean on through the best and worst of times”.
She said she is most proud of her children and is inspired by her mother because of her determination to overcome any bad situation and her attitude to others despite her hurdles.
