Call for applications

DIABETES NZ AWARDS CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Diabetes NZ is celebrating inspiring members of our community. Applications are now open for these important awards. Please apply if you’re interested, or encourage others to do so.

THE JOHN MCLAREN YOUTH AWARDS

Our youth awards celebrate the pursuit of excellence by youth with diabetes. They recognise the determination and resilience of young people as they strive to achieve their goals in their chosen fi eld, despite the challenges their condition brings.

In 2021, one award of $1,500 will be made in each of three fi elds: sporting, academic, and cultural.

Anyone who is 25 or under and lives with diabetes is eligible to apply.

THE DIABETES NZ AWARD

Diabetes NZ Awards may be granted to individuals who have, directly or indirectly, made a signifi cant diff erence to the diabetes cause in New Zealand. The award recognises exceptional achievement and is made in the knowledge that personal sacrifi ces must always be part of such a contribution to diabetes.

THE LIFE MEMBERSHIP AWARD

The Award of a Diabetes New Zealand Life Membership is the most prestigious honour awarded by the organisation. A Life Membership is conferred on someone in recognition and appreciation of outstanding service by that person for the benefi t of people with diabetes.

To ensure this award remains a distinguished and exceptional honour, a maximum number of 40 Life Members is permitted at any one time.

If you know someone who you believe deserves a Life Membership, please nominate them.

Application forms for all awards are available on Diabetes NZ's website and from your local Diabetes NZ branch. Go to www.diabetes.org.nz/ diabetes-nz-awards. Entries for all awards close 5pm, Monday 13 September.
