Not for profit professionals to unite for Leaders Symposium
The complex world of not-for-profit leadership will be the key topic of discussion at the premier event for Australasian
sector leaders in Rotorua next month.
Rotorua is set to welcome leaders working in associations, charities and other not-for-profits for the third annual
Australasian Society of Association Executives (AuSAE) Leadership Symposium onOctober 29-30.
Under the 2014 theme ‘Game On: Leadership in Motion’, the symposium will bring together the nation’s most knowledgeable
executives and practitioners who will share insights, tools and motivation to inspire delegates to achieve their goals
and advance New Zealand not-for-profit organisations.
“The NFP sector is continually in motion. The complexity of the environment means there is a constant need for
up-to-date information and strong peer to peer networks. The Annual AuSAE Leadership Symposium offers senior executives
the opportunity to discover and grow both,” says AuSAE President Tony Steven.
The symposium will include over 10 educational sessions on topics such as advocacy, leadership practices, board
performance, membership and organisational sustainability.
The unique event format, that includes a strong focus on networking, provides a great opportunity to meet and
collaborate with new colleagues from across the country who share interests, concerns and on-the-job challenges.
“The annual AuSAE Leadership Symposium is a great event where you can update yourself on current business trends. It is
also a tremendous opportunity to network with like-minded association executives,” says Steve Williams, Manager,
Business Services, New Zealand School Trustees Association.
Register today to join other not-for-profit executives looking forward to attending the 2014 AuSAE Leadership Symposium
in Rotorua, October 29-30.
