Newbridge Councillor seeking nominations for Kildare's ‘Bold Women’ re International Women’s Day competition!
Cllr Fiona McLoughlin Healy (Kildare Newbridge MD) is seeking Kildare nominations for ‘ bold women ’ for her competition to celebrate International Women’s Day. This year Elaine Crowley, popular Presenter of TV3’s ‘Elaine Show’ will, with the help of two other judges, select the winner of the boldest woman competition.
“We want to invite both men and women to nominate women who are being bold, for change. It may be a woman, an entrepreneur who has created lots of employment or it may be a woman who has decided to be a full-time Mum in order to nurture future generations of citizens.
“Both are role models of equal merit” said the Newbridge based Councillor, herself the mother of three young children. “Each woman takes action for change in their own way. It could be a woman who has put herself forward for participation in a voluntary or professional sphere that is typically male dominated, a woman who made a bold impact in her community or work place.
"We want to hear about them - and to celebrate women who take actions, big or small, public or hidden, that influence and create change”.
The competitions ‘bold ’ theme is based on this year’s International Women’s Day campaign, whose theme is
‘Be bold for change’. Prizes for the lucky winner include: A styling session with Buy Design Boutique in Crookestown, Ballitore, and an outfit worth up to €200 from the outlet.
A voucher for a series of Image Skincare facials worth over €200 courtesy of Sharon at Urban Escape in Newbridge and
-A delicious voucher for €100 sponsored by Harte’s Award winning restaurant in Kildare Town.
Nominations are currently being accepted online on Cllr McLoughlin Healy’s Facebook page - FB/FionaMcLoughlinHealy. The winner will be announced on March 25 with a handover of prizes by TV3’s Elaine Crowley, date TBC.
“Sometimes you just have to be bold to change things you don’t like. I am delighted that the head judge of the competition is one of the boldest women I know, Elaine Crowley!
Elaine has given women, a whole range of women from differing backgrounds, from across Ireland a voice on her hugely popular former show, Midday. She continues to give women a voice on her eponymous new show Elaine on TV3. I’m looking forward to her response to the incredible women we have in Co Kildare” concluded Cllr McLoughlin Healy.
