Dr Kris Rampersad – International Relations Director of the Network of NGOs
Network members Hazel Brown, Diana Mahabir-Wyatt and Brenda Gopeesingh were the three who received this award.
“The awards to these women are particularly significant as the Network ends a quarter-century of activities in Trinidad and Tobago. The three women singled-out for their contribution to women are among those, who have over the years, been relentless in the efforts for recognising the contribution of women to our society,” stated International Relations Director of the Network Dr Kris Rampersad in a release.
“The Network is particularly proud that the work of its members has been recognised so profusely in this, the first year, of a special category of awards for women. We, of course, also acknowledge with pride the work and achievements of our coordinator, Hazel Brown, who despite personal challenges continues to diligently keep the women’s agenda in focus.”
“We are also particularly pleased that the awards list this year also holds up the exemplary work of several other professional women as key contributors to national social and economic well being, among them, two of four recipients of the highest honour, the Order of Trinidad and Tobago in Mrs Zalayhar Hassanali and Helen Bhagwansingh.
