Bios - as supplied by the nominees

Jenny Hammond
I’ve been into science fiction, and crazy about books, as long as I
can remember. I discovered that there was such a thing as fandom and
science fiction conventions, after attending Conspiracy in 1997, when it
all fell into place and I found a happy home in fandom. I have attended
every Wellington con, several Auckland cons, and the 1999 Aussiecon
since 1997, and been a member of Phoenix Science Fiction Society since
1998. I’m a librarian and dabble in writing, and plan to stay
involved in fandom as long as it will have me.

Joint nominees

Jan Butterworth
Jan is Secretary of SFFANZ, Auckland administrator for SFFANZ book reviews, on the Sir Julius Vogel awards committee and is a current member of Stella Nova. She was Secretary for Conscription in 2009 and is the publicist for Context in 2011.
Jan would enjoy working to promote FFANZ.

Stephen Litten
Stephen worships at the shrine of SF/Fantasy. He is a founder member of
Phoenix, is president of Stella Nova and been on the ConCom of a couple of
Natcons. Stephen's outside interests include social drinking (founder member
Beer Ingestion Group) and proving he's a clever dick. Currently he can be
found in Auckland, provided he's not hiding.
