The Executive Committee is pleased to announce that the winner of the 2009 Industry Improvement Award is Mark Fraser, Supervisor Crematorium and Cemeteries,  Port Macquarie - Hastings Council.  His employer stated:

"Mark has been working at Innes Gardens Memorial Park for the past 7 years.  During this time he is the most dedicated staff member to his job that I have seen.  His primary concern is for bereaved clients and how he can assist in making their experience with us more tolerable at a difficult time.  His dedication to the presentation of the complex is such that he often comes in on his time off to perform duties.  Recently, after losing several long term staff at once, Mark's dedication kept the complex running".
