Lifetime Achievement Award |

There are a few outstanding individuals who give of themselves freely, often over the course of their lives, to the co-operative and mutual community. This award ensures they are given the recognition they deserve for their work in ensuring the business model thrives in New Zealand.
Please note, this category is judged slightly differently to the other awards. If a nominee meets the criteria and provides an above bar nomination, they will automatically be named a ‘finalist’.

The Celebration |
|
|
The winners will be announced at the cocktail evening and ceremony held on Thursday 5 October 2023 at FMG, Wellington.
This evening is a highlight on the co-operative business community’s annual calendar and is well attended by both co-operative leaders and the emerging co-operative generation alike. It is a key opportunity to network, connect, and celebrate the co-operative sector.
The night includes canapés, networking drinks, the awards ceremony and supper. It’s shaping up to be a wonderful event!
Early bird tickets will close at the end of August, so we encourage you to register yourself, your directors, executive team, staff, and members who would like to attend as soon as possible.
Everyone is encouraged to join us for the celebrations regardless of whether they are up for an award.

The Awards Evening also provides us with an opportunity to celebrate the longevity and resilience of the co-operative and mutual models.
Full members who have reached a milestone of 25, 50, 75 or 100 years operation as a co-operative or mutual are awarded an Enduring Service Award in this non-judged award category. Reaching these milestones are testament to the longevity and sustainability of the co-operative model.
Here’s who will be recognised for this achievement at the 2023 Awards.
