VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH JANE GORTON

Otillie Upshall from Dressage Rotorua (Bay of Plenty) has nominated Taupo’s Jane Gorton as this month’s Volunteer of the Month.

“Jane has stepped up to fill the huge gap in the Bay of Plenty left by Pete (Jenkins) passing. She thought it through and then jumped in with 110% commitment. She has faced a huge learning curve but by applying herself systematically and being unafraid to ask many questions and utilize the combined skills of the committee, she has climbed what seemed like Mount Everest at the outset.

Jane has proven herself to be an energetic and dedicated but also humble and fair leader. Peter always believed in Jane, and he would be beyond proud and so chuffed with what she has achieved”
