Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said International Women’s Day provided an opportunity for everyone to reflect and celebrate the role women play in the world. “As a woman in local government, I continue to be mentored and inspired by the women in this field who have come before me,” Cr Binks said.
