The 2006 IAATI member of the year is Bob McKay who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to promote the branch. He has been a member of IAATI for a number of years and joined the Branch committee at the Sydney conference last year.  His contributions since that time include:

• assisting the Executive Director to research possible seminar and accommodation sites in Wellington for this Seminar, also seeking corporate sponsorship for this Seminar;
• contributing 5 articles to the VIN Newsletter;
• promoting IAATI to the New Zealand Institute of Professional Investigators;
• in partnership with John O’Byrne, contributed to the development of the Branch’s  Accreditation program; and
• Volunteers to record minutes at various committee meetings during the year.

These are time consuming tasks, and often there are no-other volunteers. Bob can be counted upon to attend promptly to all committee communications, and is usually the first to respond. He provides positive and constructive comment and performs his duties in a professional manner.
