This morning at Government House Auckland, Rt Hon Sir Anand Satyanand hosted the first of this week's very special investiture ceremonies. Among those receiving their insignia was Professor Emerita Jennie Connor, for her lifetime of work advocating for research-based alcohol policy, and Mr Campbell Smith, for his immense contributions to the New Zealand music industry. Sir Anand, who served as Governor-General of New Zealand from 2006 to 2011, will continue to host investiture ceremonies in Auckland this week while Dame Cindy is overseas.
