The SBN are all mourning the loss of our brilliant young intern from Boston University Roch Jauberty, who was tragically killed in a van accident, along with two fellow students.

Roch helping with SBN's recent Office Move

You've probably already seen the news coverage so will be aware of the terrible accident where three young Boston University students died. Roch was in that van.

Some of you may have met him over the last few months - he was a very happy and positive guy who had a permanent smile on his face.  He helped us with many different aspects of our business including taking registrations at the March Forum; helping with our office move; and contributing to Greenfleet's work.  It was our pleasure to have had him on the team.

We're all very sad and reflectively quiet today as we are put together some thoughts/memories for his parents - we want them to have a little insight into what he was involved in with SBN and how much he was valued.  We're also working with Kevin Martin, who is the NZ coordinator of the Boston Uni students, to offer support where we can.   Our love and thoughts also go to Roch's girlfriend, Emily, who thankfully survived the accident.

Tough and sad times indeed.  

Ka kite ano
