Tim Grafton, chief executive of ICNZ, emphasized the commitment of ICNZ and ANZIIF to investing in individuals and nurturing the next generation of industry leaders.
“This scholarship has opened many doors of opportunity for previous winners, significantly contributing to their professional development, leadership skills and industry networks. I encourage all eligible individuals to apply,” ANZIIF CEO Prue Willsford said.
