Congratulations to Ms. Debra Hazelton on Her Award

We were thrilled to learn AJBCC Vice-President Debra Hazelton GAICD has been awarded the Order of the Rising Sun with Gold Rays and Neck Ribbon in the Japanese Government’s 2026 Conferment of Decorations, for her outstanding contribution to strengthening the economic relationship between Australia and Japan. A fitting recognition of a lifetime of service to the relationship!

We were delighted, too, to learn that Melanie Brock has been similarly honoured. We congratulate her and thank her not only for her lifelong contribution to the relationship, but also to the AJBCC over many years.
