Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—Ailsa Stewart's dedication, friendship and service have enriched the Belmont Country Women's Association and the wider CWA of NSW for three decades. Ailsa joined the Belmont Branch in 1996 and has since made an extraordinary contribution at branch, group and state levels. Throughout her years of service, she has generously taken on numerous responsibilities, including Branch President, Vice President, International Officer, Market Convenor, Assistant Catering Officer and Delegate. Ailsa has also shared her remarkable skills and knowledge through her work as Branch Handicraft and Assistant Handicraft Officer, as well as Hunter River Group and State Handicraft Officer. For many years, she served as a Land Cookery Judge and earned the respect and admiration of CWA members throughout New South Wales. In recognition of her outstanding contribution, Ailsa has recently been awarded Life Membership of the Belmont CWA. Congratulations to Ailsa on receiving this significant honour. Her decades of commitment embody the very best of the CWA's values. The friendship, guidance and encouragement she has offered others have left a lasting impact, and Belmont CWA is undoubtedly stronger for her involvement.
