Congratulations to Squadron Captain Pam Price, DSA MSA who was awarded Woman of the Year for Wyong State Electorate.
Sqn.Capt. Price is the Squadron OC of Doyalson Girls Squadron, which she founded in 1987. On receiving the award she said it was a very unexpected and humbling honour.
“I am sure there are lots of emery in our area working hard for their communities.
“I’m honoured that I can receive this on behalf of myself, but also the girls who have been part of our Squadron who have also given so much,” she said.
For Pam it has really been a family affair, after relocating to Wyongah with her husband and three children, they all joined the Australian Air League.
“We all joined. It was wonderful.”
Pam was awarded the League’s Meritorious Service Award (MSA) in 1999 and the Distinguished Service Award (DSA) in 2018. She was also awarded Central Coast Volunteer of the Year in 2021.
On this day, we celebrate the important women in our lives and communities. Their remarkable achievements raise awareness for women’s equality and serve as a reminder for aspiring young women who dream of a world free from bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.
Leading the charge and celebrating over 20 years in the Australian Air League, Squadron Lieutenant Mykhala Boyde is an inspiration to all cadets as she demonstrates commitment and passion for the organisation she loves.
“Having worked my way up through the ranks to become a Squadron Lieutenant, I see my role as a mentor who guides the cadets to achieve their own goals. I have done so much in this organisation during the 20 years, and I have so much knowledge to share. I love my community, the people and the culture of this diverse organisation, and want to encourage every young person to share their hopes and dreams confidently, knowing that there will be people willing to help them grow.”
Victoria Group is proud to have such dedicated and experienced women among our ranks.
Happy International Women’s Day Mykhala, and all women both past and present!
