THE Committee for Frankston & Mornington Peninsula has announced it will present an “Annual Leadership Award” at their Annual General Meeting this year. The committee’s “Annual Leadership Award” will recognise a community leader who has shown exemplary regional leadership and made a significant contribution to the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula community.
Committee CEO, Josh Sinclair, said the award is about recognising leaders within our community who have made a significant contribution across different sectors. “Our members see exceptional leadership across community sectors, healthcare, education, business, environment and volunteer organisations every day – and we think that exceptional service to our region should be formally recognised,” said Sinclair.
In July, the committee celebrated 50 years at Ritchies for Fred Harrison, Ritchies CEO, acknowledging his services to business, charity and advocacy across the peninsula and beyond. “Fred’s contribution to our region has been extraordinary, and we were honoured to host a celebration of his 50 years at Ritchies in July.” “His example of exemplary regional leadership is what we want this leadership award to recognise, and we can’t wait to recognise our first recipient later this year.”
Nominations for the committee’s “Annual Leadership Award” close 10 November, 2025. For more details visit: www.cfmp.org.au/about/leadership-award
