Early Childhood Education activism recognised

2 September, 2024

Two exceptional IEU members employed in the early childhood education sector have been recognised and celebrated for their ongoing activism and commitment to making a difference for staff in the sector.

Organiser Nicole Lakidis said IEU members Debbie Quig and Tanya Donaghey were worthy recipients of the first John Spriggs Award for Outstanding Activism in the Early Childhood Education Sector.

“This Award was established in recognition of the enormous contribution to the sector made by former IEU-QNT Senior Industrial Officer John Spriggs during his 28-year tenure at our union,” Nicole said.
