Sir Paul Reeves was elected Chancellor of AUT University in February 2005. He has had a distinguished career of public service, including church ministry and vice-regal duties, earning a list of prestigious honours. Sir Paul was Archbishop and Primate of New Zealand from 1980 to 1985. In 1985, he was appointed Governor-General of New Zealand – a position he held until 1990. He is the only person to have ever held both posts.
After his retirement, Sir Paul became Deputy Leader of the Commonwealth Observer group to South Africa and Chair of the Nelson Mandela Trust. He went on to chair the Fiji Constitution Review Commission from 1995 to 1997 and has also done similar work for the Commonwealth in Guyana, on constitutional reform. Sir Paul was admitted to the Order of New Zealand in 2007, the country’s highest honour. This was added to an already prestigious list including being made a Knight Bachelor (1985), a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George (1985), a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victoria Order (1986) and the Queens' Service Order for public services (1990).
