Businesswoman Anne Parnham last year relinquished the reins of the Campbelltown chamber of commerce and industry.
This year she is in the running to be named NSW woman of the year.
Having already been nominated and named Campbelltown woman of the year, Ms Parnham was commended by the state member for Campbelltown, Bryan Doyle.
“Anne has owned and run the Campbelltown Lighting Centre for 34 years and is highly regarded in the Campbelltown region,” Mr Doyle said.
“As the former president of the Campbelltown Chamber of Commerce, Anne reinvigorated the chamber during her tenure as president, making it a vibrant and effective chamber,” he said.
“She is a current Member of the NSW Business Chamber South West Regional Advisory Council.
“Anne is a talented, passionate local business woman who is deeply involved in her local community and a wonderful role model for women of all ages.”
The annual NSW award, which has a number of categories, including woman of the year and young woman of the year, begins by local MPs nominating a local woman.
That person, as well as being named woman of the year for the area they operate in, is then eligible for the NSW woman of the year award.
The winners of the NSW awards will be announced at a presentation function which will be held in the NSW Parliament on March 4.
