Sporting royalty features as the speaker at the North Harbour Club’s next BEN Breakfast to be held at Regatta Bar & Eatery in Takapuna in June.
Dame Valerie Adams is one of the most dominant track and field athletes in New Zealand’s sporting history, winning 107 world athletic titles and back-to-back gold medals at the Beijing (2008) and London (2012) Olympics, as well as a silver at Rio in 2016 and bronze at Tokyo in 2020. A four-time world champion, she was seven times awarded the Halberg Sportswoman of the Year Award.
The mother of two was appointed as a Dame of the New Zealand Order of Merit for Services to Athletics in 2017.
Dame Valerie retired from competition in 2022 but continues her involvement through coaching and as chair of the World Athletics Athletes Commission, and as a World Athletics Council member. She is also on the board of High-Performance Sport New Zealand, is a leader in the Pacific community, and gives her time to many causes, such as Jammies for June with the Middlemore Foundation, and Game Plan AKL with Aktiv Auckland.

30th AIMES Awards Gala Dinner
It’s on this month – Saturday 24 May
Due to very strong ticket sales this massive celebration of three decades of AIMES Awards Gala Dinners has been moved to a bigger venue. At the time of going to press there were still tickets available, but this will sell out.
Back in 2015 the twentieth Gala Dinner attracted 600 people to the Cordis Hotel in the city. It was a magnificent event – two decades of rewarding excellence were celebrated in style. Ten years on, this ‘Gatsby and Pearl’ themed event is shaping up to be even bigger!
