Honorary Life Fellow Award - Congratulations Kaye Clapin

RECOGNISING EXTRA-ORDINARY, DISTINCTIVE, LONG-TERM SERVICE TO THE CONNELLAN AIRWAYS TRUST.

Mr Mark Coffey, Chair of Connellan Airways Trust announces the presentation of the Honorary Life Fellow Award to Mrs Kaye Clapin. This Award recognises extraordinary, distinctive, long-term service to the Trust.


Kaye was presented the Award at a Connellan Airways Trust celebration this week after contributing to the Trust for some 17 years. Kaye was a Director of the Trust from 2002 until 2008. Following this Kaye provided exemplary services as the Executive Officer until her recent retirement in July 2019.

Mr Coffey said “Kaye’s involvement in the Trust has been key. Her passion, drive and dedication to people in isolated and rural Outback Australia has positively impacted so many people. Kaye contributed to the Trust with compassion and provided valued guidance having closely related to those served by the Trust having personal experience living and working in the outback.”


The work and passion of Kaye as the Executive Officer, and previously as a Director, has contributed to the Trust being in a strong position to continue providing support to people in Outback Australia.


The Honorary Life Fellow Award was established in 2008 to recognise extra-ordinary, distinctive, long-term service to the Connellan Airways Trust. Previous recipients have included Mr Chris Connellan, Mr Bob Lee, Mr Fred Hockley and Mr Max Horton. Connellan Airways Trust is a national Trust supporting people in isolated and rural Outback Australia. We aim to encourage development of individuals and families living on stations and in small rural communities with grants that make a difference.


The Trust congratulates Kaye for becoming an Honorary Life Fellow of the Connellan Airways Trust.

From the EO Hi everyone, I'm Declan Kelly, the new EO of Connellan Airways Trust. I’ve just wrapped up my first few weeks as Executive Officer at the Trust, and it’s already been a genuinely inspiring start. Earlier this month, I travelled to Alice Springs (Mparntwe) and had the chance to connect directly with some of the people and communities the Trust supports. A highlight was attending the Govies’ Muster and meeting the dedicated teachers, families and students from the Alice Springs School of the Air and the ICPA. Hearing about the creativity and resilience it takes to deliver education across vast distances really brought home why the Trust’s work matters. At the Alice Springs Show, I enjoyed meeting local schools and community groups, many of whom already know Connellan and have received support in the past to bring important projects to life. It was great to see how the Trust’s legacy is woven into the local community in such practical and lasting ways. I also met with the team from Red Dust and learned more about their community driven health and wellbeing programs. And of course, I couldn’t miss experiencing my first Territory Day, a pretty spectacular way to be welcomed, with fireworks lighting up the desert night. Another highlight was catching up with NT Chief Minister, Lia Finocchiaro, to talk about the opportunities and challenges facing remote Australians, and where the Trust can help create even greater impact. All in all, it’s been a warm, generous welcome into the Connellan Airways Trust community, and I’m excited to keep building on the Trust’s proud history. Next up, my first grant round. If you’re working on a project, supporting your local community or just want to chat about what we do, please get in touch via info@connellanairwaystrust.org.au . Looking forward to what’s ahead!
