Our Australian Award Ambassadors are a very special group. These are individuals that support the Award financially as well as being advocates for the Award. To recognise this special contribution HRH Prince Edward, in his capacity as Chair of the Award’s International Council, recently hosted a thank you dinner at Buckingham Palace. Our National Chairman the Hon Shane Stone AC PGDK QC introduced the 8 new Award Ambassadors to His Royal Highness who also presented them with their Ambassador plaque. Shane also acknowledged the numerous positive outcomes following the visit to Australia last November by His Royal Highness, recognising that some of the Award Ambassadors present were introduced to the Award during the royal visit.
