Queen's Birthday Honours

 

Janice Dawson CNZM Jan was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to governance. The Milford resident and well-known local personality has been involved in a number of charitable organisations as well as some of New Zealand’s most established company names. Whilst her accomplishments truly are too numerous to list a few more notable ones were acknowledged with her citation. Jan is most well known as a trailblazer for women in business having been a director of Air New Zealand, AIG Insurance, Meridian Energy, Goodman Fielder and Beca. Last year, she was appointment as chairwoman of the board of Westpac New Zealand making her the first New Zealand woman to chair the board of a major bank. She has more than 30 years experience in the financial and accounting sector and is the former chairwoman and chief executive of KPMG New Zealand, again the first woman to achieve this status. As well as her business prowess, Jan has been heavily involved in academic and sporting organisations.

 

George Farrant CNZM George was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to heritage preservation. He is a senior Auckland Council officer having been heritage manager since 1982 and Principal Heritage Advisor for the central area since the 2010 amalgamation. During that time, he developed a system to identify and protect heritage and conservation areas, which members of the Board are well aware is no small task. He is also credited with establishing the Auckland Heritage Festival which continues to grow year on year and remains a very important feature for an area such as ours. Institutional knowledge such as George’s is so important in the ever evolving and changing Auckland local government structures.

 

Heather Bell ONZM ­­Heather was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to education. The Hauraki resident and current principal of Rosebank School, Heather has dedicated over 30 years to the education sector locally, nationally and internationally.

Annette Presley ONZM Annette was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to business and women. The Takapuna resident has made a major contribution to business both locally and in Australia and is recognised for her support of a number of charities. She most notably co-founded several successful telecommunications and information technology companies on both sides of the Tasman.

 

Dr Niall Patrick Kelly ONZM – Patrick was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to children’s health. The Devonport resident devised and was a driving force behind the establishment of New Zealand’s first multiagency child protection services, Puawaitahi. He has conducted several world leading studies into child abuse, including seminal papers on inflicted head injury and sexually transmitted infections in children. He is in strong demand for court cases as New Zealand’s foremost expert witness on child protection. He has been influential in developing policy and practice for Child Youth and Family, Police and the health sector. Dr Kelly chaired the Paediatric Society of New Zealand Child Protection Special Interest Group from 2000 to 2012.

 

Barry Sinclair MNZM – Barry was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to cricket. The Northcote resident played 21 test matches between 1962 and 1968, and captained the New Zealand team in three tests. He joined the North Shore Cricket Club where he played in the premier team and devoted himself to mentoring and coaching young players. He has made significant contributions to the game at club cricket level as an administrator, fundraiser, and coach, and has provided leadership and support to the Past Players Hardship Trust initiative, and their community programme Hooked on Cricket. He was made a patron of the North Shore Cricket Club and inaugural patron of the New Zealand Cricket Players’ Association.

 

Raymond Garth Beatson QSM ­Garth was awarded a Queen Service Medal in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to community and veterans.

Marion and John Hill – Sunnynook Community Centre

 

The dynamic duo have demonstrated a whole new level of devotion to the community. Between the two of them, they have poured over 34 years of service into the Sunnynook Community Centre.

 

Marion, having been a coordinator for the centre has been an integral part of the highly utilised and efficient community centre we have come to know as the heart of the entire Sunnynook community. Marion, together with the centre manager Bronwyn, has done the work of a small army and is widely known and loved by the varied community groups that use the centre.

 

John has been Treasurer of the Sunnynook Community Centre’s Management Committee for almost 24 years with only a brief hiatus where he served as the auditor. To volunteer in this kind of role for such an extended period and throughout the evolution of financial management from chequebooks and ledgers to MYOB and internet banking, shows how truly committed to the community he is.

 

After their collective three and a half decades of hard work, Marion and John have both decided to retire North and the board adds its voice to that of the large community in Sunnynook who wish them well.
