ARE YOU THE NEXT LIANZA PRESIDENT-ELECT?
We urge you to consider joining the LIANZA Council as the next president-elect.
A strength of LIANZA is the ‘three P’s team’- past president, president, and president-elect leading our association over a three-year period. A new president-elect is sought to join Ivy Guo (Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington) who will become president alongside the current president Richy Misilei (Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Council), who starts his role as immediate past president in July.
The three presidents work closely together. They have many leadership opportunities, representing LIANZA at hui, forums, and conferences and working alongside national and international stakeholders. Our presidents lead the council, engage with members, and drive the strategic direction of the association.
