Regional Coordinators 2010

Regional Coordinators are appointed to organise local festivities and events celebrating the New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children & Young Adults. This energetic group of volunteers works tirelessly to bring the New Zealand Post Book Awards alive in every part of the country.

Please contact your Regional Coordinator if you are interested in being involved in organising events and activities or if you would like to host or take part in an event with a touring finalist.
