Disability SA 2008 Peter Edwards Memorial Award
Call for Nominations
The late Peter Edwards AM was involved for many years in redefining and reshaping services for people with intellectual disability. He had a great personal interest in their wellbeing, and gave freely of his time and expertise in both an official and unofficial capacity. Each year, his significant contribution is recognised through an Award established in his name.
The Award is granted in two categories:
1. a person with intellectual disability
2. a person who works directly with people with intellectual disability
and comprises a monetary component.
Each category recognises personal development and/or achievement, and the Award is made available to assist further development, which could include (but is not restricted to) implementation of a project or assisting in the pursuit of activities that enhance the life of a person/people with intellectual disability, undertaking training or skills development programs, purchasing books or equipment, or participation in a seminar or conference.
Nominations are being sought for the 2008 Award and can be made by any person or organisation. The Award is open to any individual who fits either of the two categories.
Nomination forms are available from Jill Searle, telephone 8372 1406, or e-mail jill.searle@dfc.sa.gov.au. Completed forms should be returned to:
