New Zealand Royal Honours and IPENZ Members

There are many IPENZ engineers who should be thanked and recognised nationally for a job well done - and the best way of doing this is nominating them for a New Zealand honour. IPENZ would like to support the nominations of professional engineers, and is seeking your suggestions.
