The Dubbo electorate Woman of the Year 2024 has been awarded to Mudgee local, Myff
Clarke, in recognition of her significant work to actively support the community.
Member for the Dubbo electorate, Dugald Saunders, commended Myff on the honour,
recognising her passion and the positive impact she has made in the Mudgee area.
“This is a well-deserved honour for Myff. Her commitment and ongoing contribution to
community groups and the Children’s Medical Research Institute through the Mudgee
committee is significant and I am pleased to be able to recognise her with this award.”
“Myff is an inspiration and highlights that the Dubbo electorate is an empowering place for
women to live, work and visit.
“I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contribution Myff and women across the Dubbo
electorate are making to their communities and thank them for all their amazing work,” Mr
Saunders said.
Myff says it was a complete surprise to receive the award.
“I am deeply honoured and shocked, I saw my involvement with the Children’s Medical
Institute Mudgee committee as a way of helping kids like our son, Bug (James), who has
“Williams Syndrome”, but it has become so much more than that.
“It’s the most rewarding experience of my life, I just love it and I just love helping our
community,” she said.
The Local Woman of the Year Awards is an annual program celebrating outstanding women
in local communities. This is a separate program which runs alongside the prestigious
Women of the Year Awards program.
Myff will now join other local recipients at the NSW Woman of the Year Awards in Sydney
this Thursday. Also attending will be two Dubbo locals, NSW Regional Woman of the Year
finalist Rochelle Olsen and One to Watch finalist, Izabelle Kelly.
