We’re thrilled to share that, following nominations from her peers, Hilary Bennett has been made a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Architects.
This honour recognises Hilary’s long-standing dedication to the Institute, including her years of service as Branch Chair, her role as a juror for the NZIA Awards programme, and her ongoing leadership in branch initiatives such as the annual photography competition held during our local Festival of Architecture.
Alongside her work with the Institute, Hilary is a respected Senior Architect, known for her professionalism, integrity, and thoughtful approach to practice. She has also made a meaningful contribution to her local community through service on a school board of trustees and by speaking at high school careers events to support students considering their future pathways.
Congratulations, Hilary, on this well-deserved recognition.
