Dame Cindy welcomed eight recipients to Government House this morning, beginning the King’s Birthday 2024 Honours investitures in Tāmaki Makaurau. Former Manukau City Councillors, Anne Candy (CNZM) and Colleen Brown (KSO), were recognised for their significant contributions to the Counties Manukau community. Both were also members of the Counties Manukau District Health Board.
Also among those recognised was Julie Paterson, who received an MNZM for services to women and sport. Ms Paterson co-founded Women in Sport Aotearoa, and was member of the International Tennis Federation’s global committee for Gender Equality in Tennis. Warm congratulations to all this morning’s recipients.
