T he NZ Achievement Dinner was a wonderful event hosted at the Sky City Hotel in Auckland. It provided a great opportunity to show a combined recognition of both the KSS and NMS teams that evening. It was also a pleasure to have Sam, Darren, and Tony from THQ in attendance. We honored Years of Service, celebrated Rookie and Freedom Awards and Certificates, and SCOTY Awards, acknowledging the teams outstanding achievements. A heartfelt congratulations to all the award recipients, it was pleasing to witness the applause and admiration from everyone present. With the integration of the NMS sites into KSS systems and Best Practices this year, I am very optimistic that next year's NZ Achievement Dinner will feature even more recognition.
