Mrs Yong Rahn Park, QSM, of Auckland, for services to the Korean community
Yong Rahn Park established the Korean Positive Aging Charitable Trust (KPACT), which represents the Korean community, especially seniors, in engaging with government agencies and welfare organisations. KPACT was established as a Korean community hub and operates community projects in collaboration with partner agencies empowering Korean residents to participate in local elections, censuses, and events. KPACT offers educational opportunities as well as Korean traditional dance and music, and organises initiatives such as local sports, Marae visits, presentations of Māori culture, and visits to location attractions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mrs Park helped provide support services to the Korean community.
