The winners of the inaugural NZSAE Associations Matter Awards have been announced, celebrating outstanding leadership, member engagement, emerging talent and association impact across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Congratulations to all of our 2026 winners and finalists.
Together, the New Zealand Society of Association Executives Inc (NZSAE) and its community connect association professionals with the knowledge, support, networks, and practical insight they need to lead stronger organisations for their members.
Because when association leaders are stronger, associations are stronger.

Networking and Learning opportunities throughout the year to grow your association
Connect and support other association leaders around New Zealand.
When you are running an association, the decisions are constant. Members expect more. Boards need confidence. Revenue is under pressure. Technology is moving quickly. And most teams are being asked to do more with less.
NZSAE helps you work through that reality with practical support, trusted peer connection, and sector knowledge shaped by people who understand associations.
We bring association professionals together to share experience, build capability, strengthen governance, grow member value, and make better decisions for the organisations and communities they serve.
You do not have to lead alone.
