Ms Val French AM, Patron of Elements Living presented a $1,000 bursary to Ms Kimberley Elston during the National Council of Women Qld 2012 presentation ceremony at the Parliamentary Annexe in early May.
The program offers several bursaries of $1,000 each to young Queensland women to assist with their educational expenses. Several Queensland businesses and organisations including Elements sponsor the bursary program.
The National Council of Women of Queensland Inc (NCWQ), through its affiliated organisations and individual membership, promotes equality of opportunity for women and enables them to participate effectively at all levels, and in all aspects, of the life of the community. Elements is proud to be a part of the Council’s mission.
