“All entrants have clearly dedicated significant effort, time, and resources to delivering positive outcomes and real change. Their commitment drives the sustainability of our sector, grows the financial wellbeing of New Zealanders, and contributes positively to New Zealand as a whole,” said Ms. Stroud.

“We congratulate all finalists for the outstanding commitment shown in delivering tangible results. The judging panel faced an extremely difficult, yet inspiring, challenge in choosing from such high-quality entrants.

‘We thank everyone who has taken the time to submit an award nomination and look forward to announcing the winners during the FSC Awards Dinner,” Ms. Stroud concluded.
