Cath News report: The head of St Vincent de Paul in the Northern Territory has been named as Australia's top young business woman in the 2010 Telstra Australian Business Awards, said a media release.
As CEO of St Vincent de Paul, Janet Buhagiar almost doubled revenue and increased services to remote communities and in-housing, training and employment, and youth mentoring.
One of her major business achievements was winning private developer support and government funding for a $5.8 million project to build two-bedroom units on Society land to house 20 families. In addition, Ms Buhagiar raised more than $60,000 through a corporate 'sleeping rough' fundraiser to fund whitegoods for the units.
