About Rosemary Richards
Rosemary Richards was the President of the AEU ACT Branch from 1988 until 1995. She was a committed feminist and teacher unionist who strongly believed in the potential power of a federated union, and that women working collectively together is the best hope of winning change in education workplaces and in education unions. This award honours her legacy by reflecting her values and commitment to gender equity and the Australian Education Union.
