NZSAE Association Leader of the Year 2026 finalist 🌟
NZSTA are delighted to announce that our executive director Siobhan Molloy is a finalist for the New Zealand Society of Association Executives (NZSAE) Association Leader of the Year 2026.
This is a wonderful achievement and recognition of the leadership, contribution and impact being made across New Zealand’s association sector and for NZSTA and it's members.
Siobhan first joined NZSTA as a member in 1987 and has been involved with the Association in a range of roles over many years, including serving as vice president/membership, editor of Communication Matters, convening the 1992 conference Speaking of Swallowing, and contributing to the establishment of the inaugural Professional Accreditation Framework. After many years in executive leadership roles outside NZSTA, Siobhan returned to the Association in 2021. Her work has focused on strengthening NZSTA’s role as a professional association, separating governance and management, supporting self-regulation, member engagement, advocacy, and Te Tiriti responsiveness. She is especially interested in how professional associations can protect the public, support ethical practice, and keep members connected to each other and to the future of the profession.
Congratulations Siobhan! 👏
