In 2019, Goff won the Eelco Boswijk Community Hero Award for her hard mahi (work) coordinating a welfare centre set up of her own volition. This year the Nelson City Council is partnering with the Nelson Civic Trust and Nelson Mail to deliver the Eelco Boswijk Civic Awards, making the awards a true community celebration. We are delighted to be a part of bringing it back with the Eelco Boswijk awards,” she said. Individuals, groups or organisations can be nominated for an award category, including Nelson Civic Trust Community Hero, Nelson Pine Change Maker, NBS Bank Leadership, Nelmac Kaitiakitanga and Nelson City Council Smart Little City. The Eelco Boswijk Civic Awards are a tangible way we can celebrate some of the city's true 'heroes',” she says.
