    New Zealand Pacific Union Conference (NZPUC) Adventist Education director Dan Carrasco presented the medallion to Mr Weslake saying, “For many in the entities in which Ken Weslake has served, he exemplified leadership that says, ‘I know you can do it, and I will be beside you to support you.’ And what’s more, he would do it with wit, warmth and humility.
