Distinguished Services Citation

Since 1990, the CBCA has been presenting suitable individuals with the Distinguished Services Citation which recognises ‘long and dedicated service to the work of the National Council of the CBCA’. The first recipients were Laurie Copping and Maurice Saxby, who were presented with citations and gold pins at the 1991 Awards presentations.

At the 2009 AGM, it was announced that the latest worthy beneficiaries are John Cohen, Editor of Reading Time, and Jo Goodman, Victorian branch member. They will be presented with their citation certificate and a special badge by the National President at a suitable function.
