In 1974, Meers was elected as an Alderman of the City of Sydney and served in successive years as Chairman of Properties, Chairman of Works and Deputy Lord Mayor. Meers is also a past President of the Civic Reform Association.[3] Following a successful career in business after his Lord Mayoralty, and in order to formalise his personal tradition of philanthropic giving, in 2001 Mr Meers founded the Nelson Meers Foundation.[4] The Nelson Meers Foundation was the first ‘Prescribed Private Fund’ to commence operation in Australia.[4] In 2005, the Foundation won the Goldman Sachs JBWere Artsupport Australia Philanthropy Leadership Award.[5] Meers is married with four children and six grandchildren and lives in Sydney. His daughter Samantha Meers is the chief executive officer of the Nelson Meers Foundation.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/AboutSydney/HistoryAndArchives/CivicHistory/MayorsOfSydney.asp#lord_mayors_1969_1987|title=Mayors of Sydney|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100223211748/http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/AboutSydney/HistoryAndArchives/CivicHistory/MayorsOfSydney.asp#lord_mayors_1969_1987|archivedate=23 February 2010|df=dmy-all}} {{s-start}}{{succession box2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.law.usyd.edu.au/alumni/slr/slr2005oct.pdf|title=Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2005|date=Oct 2005|work=The Sydney Law School Reports|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080725022422/http://www.law.usyd.edu.au/alumni/slr/slr2005oct.pdf|archivedate=25 July 2008|df=dmy-all}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.weeklytimes.com.au/2005/06_june/15_06_05/story_02.htm|title=Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2005|work=The Weekly Times Online|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091007235151/http://www.weeklytimes.com.au/2005/06_june/15_06_05/story_02.htm|archivedate=7 October 2009|df=dmy-all}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.nelsonmeersfoundation.org.au/nmf2006/aboutNMF.htm |title=About the Nelson Meers Foundation |year=2006 |accessdate=8 Feb 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100106112337/http://www.nelsonmeersfoundation.org.au/nmf2006/aboutNMF.htm |archivedate=6 January 2010 }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abaf.org.au/index.php?sectionID=1365&pageID=3810|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080602054011/http://www.abaf.org.au/index.php?sectionID=1365&pageID=3810|dead-url=yes|archive-date=2 June 2008|title=National Winners - AbaF Awards 2008|publisher=Australia Business Arts Foundataion|accessdate=8 Feb 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.philanthropy.org.au/pdfs/ppf/CaseStudy_NelsonMeers.pdf|title=The Nelson Meers Foundation|work=Australian Philanthropy|number=65|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091015220852/http://www.philanthropy.org.au/pdfs/ppf/CaseStudy_NelsonMeers.pdf|archivedate=15 October 2009|df=dmy-all}} | title=Lord Mayor of Sydney | before=Leo Port | after=Doug Sutherland | years=1978-1980 }}{{s-end}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Meers, Nelson}} 6 : 1938 births|Living people|Mayors and Lord Mayors of Sydney|Civic Reform Association politicians|Officers of the Order of Australia|Deputy Lord Mayors of Sydney |
