Sandra Hansen, the current secretary and previous treasurer of the Kiama Country Women’s Association Evening Branch, was recognised on the NSW Government

honour role for her contribution to our community.

Sandra was nominated by the CWA Evening Branch for the NSW Government Hidden Treasures recognition program highlting extraordinary contributions of female volunteers.

In Sandra’s case, it is a fitting acknowledgment of her tireless efforts and contribution to the local community.

Sandra is always putting up her hand to contribute above her executive roles and is active in so many of the community activities and events the branch undertakes.

These have included Bunnings Halloween Night, Volunteer Awareness Week at the Kiama Farmers Markets, our partnership with St Vincent de Paul and our Anzac Day Event.

Sandra has driven the Kiama High School donations of $9000 over three years.

She has also supported her husband and a team of like-minded individuals undertake a “labour of love” to restore the beautiful MV Signa, a 50-year-old wooden boat that has called Kiama home since 2005.

The boat restoration took two years and was returned to Kiama Harbour in May last year.

Sandra remains a steadfast and hardworking member continually contributing to and influencing CWA-KEB’s approach to support the community outcomes.
