The Hynds Award was established by John Hynds in 1990 to encourage IPWEA NZ members to improve their presentation skills, by presenting papers on asset management and engineering for infrastructure.

We’ve had more than 30 years of the Hynds Award – that’s more than 90 people who have had the opportunity to improve their presentation skills.

Hynds support is a significant contribution to the advancement of the Asset Management industry.
