Congratulations to the Rotary Melbourne's 2024 Young Achiever Edward Le who was recognised with the Maribyrnong City Council Les Twentyman Youth Leadership Award on 27 March 25.
Lord Mayor Pradeep Tiwari noted 'Edward is a dedicated community advocate who has committed much of his time to supporting the people of Maribyrnong, particularly young people. Raised in the area and a former student of Maribyrnong Secondary College, Edward has always felt a strong connection to the young people in the community and often sees his own experiences reflected in their lives.'
Following is Edward's LinkedIn article on the award:
🏆 Last week I had the honour of accepting the Les Twentyman Youth Leadership Award from Maribyrnong City Council, presented by our Mayor Pradeep Tiwari.
As someone who has lived, worked and attended school in Maribyrnong for the past 22 years, I have had a deep connection to this city and its people. It’s an incredible honour to be recognised with this award named after Les, a prominent change maker who spent his life advocating for Victoria’s most vulnerable.
Thank you to the organisations I’ve had the privilege to work and volunteer for and Maribyrnong City Council for recognising the inspiring leaders who strengthen our community.
