Ms King has held senior roles in membership-based organisations and in public sector policy and strategy development. Ms King also has extensive experience in marketing in the private sector.
Chairperson of ISNZ Dr Murray Sim welcomes the appointment of Ms King. "Sally will bring excellent relationship building skills and a proven track record in successful marketing and strategy.
Her expertise will be invaluable as we look to make a noticeable impact across a number of fronts, including making an effective contribution to the Government’s review of the Education Act."
Ms King takes over from interim Executive Director Gail Thomson who has been acting in the role for the past six months since the departure of Deborah James who held the role for seven years.
