"I'm really looking forward to meeting some of these inspirational women we have in NSW and hearing their stories.
"You can always learn, so it will be a good opportunity to learn more about what's happening in other communities, what the other women are passionate about and how we're empowering each other."
Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said this was fantastic recognition for the work Ms Kemp had done within the community.
"Jane has also mentored many young mums and Aboriginal men, empowering them to make a difference in their communities. It's leaders like Jane who make our region such a wonderful place to call home."
