Association Influencers 2020
What is Association Influencers 2020? AuSAE’s Association Influencers program is about highlighting and recognising the outstanding contributions of individuals in the association community across Australia and New Zealand. There is no better year to launch our inaugural Association Influencers platform. When faced with the rapidly changing and escalating public health emergency of COVID-19 the Association community stood front and centre to support, protect and advocate for their members as this once in a generation crisis unfolded. Associations worked tirelessly to collect, curate and disseminate information, advocated to government to assist in the formation of impactful policy advice and provided support and assistance for the professions, industries and communities they represent. AuSAE is your home of associations, and as a community it is imperative that outstanding association professionals have the opportunity to be recognised, inclusive of AuSAE members and non-members alike – the people behind the associations, connecting the tribes. | Who can be nominated AuSAE are seeking nominations for individuals at all levels of responsibility who have demonstrated influence, exemplary leadership, unrivalled guidance, strength in resilience and service to the sector. This person may be an Association CEO, pivotal manager, rising star and / or someone who:
or all of the above and more…....You are encouraged to nominate any peer that you identify as meeting the criteria. This award is open to nomination from any peer and excludes the self-nomination of candidates. All candidates must reside in Australia or New Zealand although the person making the nomination of the candidate may be located anywhere globally. Nominees must be a current employee of a not-for-profit Association to be eligible for inclusion. |
