The Association Influencers 2023 program highlights and recognises outstanding individuals in the association community across Australia and New Zealand.  AuSAE is honoured to host this space for outstanding association professionals across all levels to have the opportunity to be recognised – the people behind the associations, connecting the tribes.

Who can be nominated (Eligibility criteria):
AuSAE is 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. The nominee deserves to be acknowledged for their contributions to their organisation, profession or industry.

This person may be an Association CEO, pivotal manager, rising star and/or someone who:

• has been part of a high performing team,
• has led of an innovative project or initiative,
• has shown dedication to building partnerships with stakeholders,
• is an exemplar role model to their peers
• or all of the above and more…......

All candidates must reside in Australia or New Zealand. However, the person making the candidate's nominationmay be located anywhere globally. Nominees must be a current employee of a not-for-profit Association to be eligible for inclusion.

Why should I nominate someone?
Our tribe is a passionate community, working tirelessly beyond the 9-5 in the service of members. It's time to recognise those in our community making a real and lasting difference, influencing the future of our profession and inspiring those surrounding them. These are exemplary people in our community, and it takes just one person to nominate to demonstrate to them and the broader community that they are valued; their work is instrumental and makes a demonstrable impact.

If you know a person who makes a positive impact and inspires you, nominate them as Association Influencer in 2023. Register your details here and we'll send you the nomination form following your registration.
