Rex Halverson contributed greatly to the growth and success of Koala Crusaders and in recognition for his ongoing work in the community the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation chair has been nominated for a 2021 Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Award.
Rex was nominated for recognition by his wife Meaghan who said he attended meetings for years, bringing balance and communication skills to the table and assisting in the growth of the Koala Crusaders from smaller to larger organisation.
“His writing skills brought forward a re-write of our constitution as well as a contribution to the success of many presentations in the community through the use of his skills in refining and enhancing our message as a “voice for the koala“,“ she said.
“Rex is often the man to put his hand up to set up, tear down and run stalls at events. He lives by example to work collaboratively and to lead a team and volunteers his time graciously.
“His contributions to QKC at a time of change within the organisation are invaluable and as President, he worked towards a healthy transition to new leadership.“
