Congratulations to CFRC A/Prof Vivienne Milligan, honoured with the Nazha Saad Women’s High Achievement in Housing award at the July 2016 NSW Affordable Housing Conference. Named after the highly-respected former CEO of St George Community Housing (SGCH), the prize recognises Vivienne’s career-long contribution to housing in the guise of policymaker, academic and advocate. In a commentary to the award, Vivienne was celebrated as ‘…the most outstanding leader in the development of better housing policy and practice not only in NSW, but across Australia’. As commented by the judging panel, Vivienne and fellow-winner Karen Andrews ‘[have been] exemplary role models and have made a strong and lasting impact for other women in the sector’.
