Te
Mihi | Acknowledgement
In recognition of the recent passing of Janet Clews, CNZM, QSO, NZ Suffrage Medal, JP, the Seniors Advisory Panel
acknowledged her significant contributions as a past chair and member of the Panel
for two terms, from 2013 to 2019. A highlight of Janet’s
time on the panel was her successful advocacy in having Auckland declared an
Age-friendly city in late 2021—an achievement she led tirelessly, despite
considerable opposition and disinterest from some quarters. The Seniors
Advisory Panel celebrated Janet’s contribution and remembered her
leadership as it sought to give effect to the purpose of an Age-friendly
Auckland.
