The BCCM Honour Roll

The BCCM Honour Roll is a virtual hall of fame recognising outstanding leaders of the co-operative and mutual sector whose contributions have delivered substantial and lasting impact.

Each year, new leaders are inducted at the annual Taste of Australia Dinner and presented with a handcrafted gold pin from the BCCM.

The Honour Roll acknowledges retiring and outgoing leaders whose achievements extend beyond their tenure, demonstrating influence that has advanced the sector in Australia and internationally.

Congratulations to our BCCM Honour Roll 2025 inductees.
