Governor Platter paid homage to Ms Schaeffler's services to the state of Tyrol at a presentation ceremony:
“Thanks to the personal commitment you show in your professional activities, you have done a truly extraordinary amount for Tyrol and the people of our state. You have set a good example for others, making use of your personal network for the benefit of Tyrol and the promotion of our state. Let me therefore offer you my sincerest thanks on behalf of the state of Tyrol.”

I would like to thank the state parliament and Governor Platter for this honour. It gives me great pleasure to accept the award, which I also regard as a commitment to continue working in the interests of the state of Tyrol in the future.”
