Dear Abbess Manshin
The 2012 IPANZ Gen-i Public Sector Excellence Awards thank you for attending the Awards Evening on 27 June 2012 at the TSB Bank Arena Wellington.

To encourage excellence it is critical to celebrate success. This year there was much to celebrate. We received a record number of nominations; the projects were of high quality and involved a broad range of public and community organisations involved.

We would like to congratulate the winners of the Prime Minister's Award for Public Sector Excellence - the Ministry of Social Development, Department of Internal Affairs and Ministry of Education for Resolving Historic Claims of Child Abuse and Neglect.

Thank you for your participation in the 2012 IPANZ Gen-i Public Sector Excellence Awards.
Planning has commenced for the 2013 Awards programme and we will be calling for nominations in November.
