The EIANZ Board is pleased to announce the appointment of nine new Fellows and a new Honorary Life Member!

At our Annual Conference Networking Evening in Sydney last week, EIANZ President Vicki Brady FEIANZ CEnvP was delighted to award Honorary Life Membership to Judith Roper-Lindsay.

Judith Roper-Lindsay is an ecologist with over 40 years’ experience in ecological planning and management, providing ecological assessments for significant development projects throughout New Zealand. She has made an immense contribution to environmental practice. 

Her involvement in EIANZ has been extensive. She served as President of the NZ Chapter from 2005 to 2008, and as a founding member of the Environment Institute of Australia in 1988 (now EIANZ), Judith was awarded the Simon Molesworth Award in recognition of her substantial contributions to the Institute. She continues to sit on EIANZ committees and advises the NZ Chapter on key matters of interest.

Congratulations on this well-deserved honour, Judith!
