International Women’s Day
Every March 8th is International Women’s Day. Today we are celebrating with an interview with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC), Diane Hood.
What challenges have you faced in your career as a woman? How did you overcome them?
The inherent challenges to women in our society are sexism and unconscious bias against them. It is assumed that women should act in a certain way; nurturing and caring, but at the same time when in a leadership role they are expected to be logical and decisive, which are traditionally seen as male traits. When a female executive doesn’t act the way they are expected to it is hard for them to be seen as an individual with individual strengths and weaknesses.

Engawala Flood Clean Up
The recent heavy rainfall of 260mm in Engawala caused minor flooding including blocking the access road. Once the water went down the Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) Engawala Works Team got to work cleaning up the road to make it a smooth crossing.
