Carolyn is, and has for the past three decades, been the glue that holds our Chapter together. A true leader who insists on not bearing any of the leadership titles but is deserving of all of them. There is nobody more generous with their time and more committed to the Educate Plus cause and our members.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carolyn is also a past recipient of the Trevor Wigney Award, one of only two New Zealanders to receive this prestigious award. This year&#8217;s recipient was John Phillips of Brighton Grammar School in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kate Eatts<\/strong><br \/>\nThose of us who have been fortunate to work closely with\u00a0Kate will appreciate that she is a truly worthy recipient of the\u00a0Newcomer Award. Kate has served a year as NZ Chapter Manager, going above and beyond as a member by organising networking breakfasts and presentations. She has led alumni, fundraising and communications projects at Diocesan School for Girls and recently won a promotion to Development and Community Relations Manager, which is testament to her hard work and commitment. Kate&#8217;s trademark kind, helpful, capable, positive and enthusiastic approach is raved about by members and partners alike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Mention<\/strong><br \/>\nOur very own Member institution, University of Otago received a\u00a0Special\u00a0Mention for their submission in the Annual Giving\/Fundraising Campaign Award category.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fellowships<\/strong><br \/>\nEducate Plus Fellowships recognising long standing service to the advancement sector were awarded to New Zealand members:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Angela Coe, Diocesan School for Girls<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jennifer Roshan, Howick College<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Jennifer Roshan<\/strong><br \/>\nJennifer is uniquely experienced &#8211; not only has she served our Chapter as Chapter administrator, she is the only member, to our knowledge, who has held advancement roles across all three sectors i.e tertiary (AUT), state-integrated (Sacred Heart College) and state school (Howick College)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Angela Coe<\/strong><br \/>\nAngela is also exceptionally unique in that she has served in education as an educator, a Board Chair, a Foundation Board member and a Director of Development in both the state school sector (Auckland Boys Grammar) and at her school, Diocesan School for Girls. Angela has been hugely supportive of our Chapter and we are very grateful for her wisdom, guidance and unconditional support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recognition<\/strong><br \/>\nAlongside recently retired, long serving Committee members, all four women will be acknowledged at the NZ Chapter Conference in September and Jennifer and Carolyn will be presented with their awards by CEO, Mandy McFarland.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The NZ Chapter Committee\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Photos: Main (L-R) Angela Coe and Kate Eatts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1048\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/08\/Carolyn-180x200-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/08\/Carolyn-180x200-1.png 180w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/08\/Carolyn-180x200-1-135x150.png 135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1049\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/08\/Jennifer-Roshan-180x200-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/08\/Jennifer-Roshan-180x200-1.png 180w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/08\/Jennifer-Roshan-180x200-1-135x150.png 135w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Above (L-R) Carolyn Prebble and Jennifer Roshan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are delighted to announce that Educate Plus New Zealand members and institutions were recognised at the recent International Conference Excellence Awards Lunch.
