It has just been announced that
Global Ed publisher Tracy Strudley is a Finalist in the Education category of
the NEXT Woman of the Year Awards 2015, in association with Pandora.
Now in their sixth year, these awards celebrate the
achievements of New Zealand women who are excelling in their respective fields.
The 30 finalists for this year’s awards were shortlisted across six major
categories: Arts & Culture; Sport; Business & Innovation; Health &
Science; Education; and Community. Tracy Strudley is profiled along with the
other finalists in the October issue of NEXT magazine.
Strudley said, “I am hugely
honoured to be chosen as a Finalist in the Education category of these
prestigious Awards. My philosophy is that all children around the world have
the right to become lifelong readers, which is why I am passionate about
delivering exceptional products that help switch them on to reading. Knowing
that my nomination will help shine a light on literacy and reading makes me
feel incredibly proud.”
Tracy Strudley has more
than 18 years’ publishing experience in international sales and marketing and
for the past nine years has been the Sales and Marketing Director of Global Ed,
a leading educational resource publishing company. Strudley co-founded Global

market and exporting resources internationally. In her role at Global Ed,
Strudley exports children’s literacy material to more than 30 countries

Resource in Primary Education category, as well as a finalist in the export

In April 2015, Strudley
