Street
Professor Anne Penfold Street above, with Professor Neumann, and below, receiving her BH Neumann Award from Professor Neumann, also with neil Williams and Peter O'Halloran at a function held at the University of Queensland in 1994. Anne had a prodigious research career in discrete mathematics. In this field Ralph Stanton described her as Australia's leading researcher. She was a member of the AMC Problems Committee for 14 years, and chaired AMOC (and was its representative on the AMT Board) from 1996 to 2001.

Professor Street has been a valuable member of the Australian Mathematics Competition's Problems Committee since 1983. In that time she has contributed many questions for the contest papers; questions which generally are in her area of expertise and research and, as such, provide the extraordinary freshness of ideas which have become the hallmark of our annual AMC papers.
At the same time she has, by her enthusiastic and gentle example and leadership, given encouragement to other members of her Faculty to be involved with the AMC as well as the Australian Mathematical Olympiad movement.
