Penrith. Ruth wins top award

Ruth Goldsmith, Penrith City Council’s group manager, leadership, has received one of this year’s six Australian Awards for Public Service Excellence, from the Australia-New Zealand School of Governance (ANZSOG) Institute for Governance “This prestigious award recognises Ruth’s contribution to the understanding and measurement of ‘public value’ in local government across Australia. Public value provides a simple framework that public sector organisations can use to implement excellence and efficiency measures. This concept supports community engagement, and strategic planning and reporting,” said Mayor, Mark Davies.
