Sue Breen from Eastern (ITF) Pakuranga received a well deserved recognition winning the Administrator of the year. (without Sue's efforts year after year, ITFNZ wouldn't figure at these awards

ITFNZ folk went up on the stage for 12 finalist spots last night, compared with 1/2 that number for much larger and higher profile sports. That only happens due to *weeks* of long nights by Sue creating the comprehensive nomination presentations that persuade the selection panel to choose our people!  )
