Our Council
On April 30, 2012, our longstanding chair Gordon Chesterman
completed his third term on the Council. Gordon spent ten years
as chair and his contribution to Wintec was recognised in a series of
well-attended farewell events with staff, council members and the
community. On his departure a new scholarship was established
for business and media arts students, the Gordon Chesterman
Scholarship, to formally recognise his contribution to Wintec
and to its wider community.
All our successes in 2012 are a combination of the passion
and drive from our staff, our Council members, employers, our
supporters and our students. We sincerely thank you for your
commitment and contribution in making us a modern, forwardthinking
organisation.
We look forward to working with you all in 2013 and beyond.
In September, long-standing council member Mary Cave-Palmer
was appointed Wintec’s Chair of Council by the Tertiary Education
Skills and Employment Minister Steven Joyce.
Our Council (pictured above) has a well-earned reputation for
being forward-thinking and diligent and this continued in 2012.
Our sincere thanks
It was a progressive year, one to be remembered for our innovation
and drive to continually improve to benefit our students,
employers and community. We are in a good position for 2013
and beyond.
