Teri Nichol, Immediate Past President, comments:  


"Keith has had well over 35 years of experience with Careers and Transition. He is never afraid to tell you about it either! He started out teaching, has been a deputy head and a member at the start of the government Vocational Advisers Service. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to the history of Careers and Transition in schools. Not only has Christchurch benefitted from this wisdom but the National Executive had Keith as a member for many years and CATE has profited as a result of his never ending digging for up to date information. Keith is a colourful character but firstly a gentleman, well known sportsman, a very dedicated Careers Adviser to the boys at his school and expert on good red wine. A champion on so many fronts!"
