Anne O'Brien has resigned as WIFT NZ Executive Director.
Announcing her resignation late last month, the WIFT NZ Board
commended Anne for her part in the organisation's consolidation and
growth over the past three years, particularly the amalgamation of
WIFT Auckland and WIFT Wellington into WIFT NZ, which now has over
550 members. Since Anne began as Executive Director, the WIFT
NZ Awards have forged themselves as a key event celebrating the
achievements of women in the industry, and the professional
development programme has expanded to comprise a mentoring
initiative and a regular series of events in Auckland, Wellington
and Christchurch on a wide range of topics. Anne will be
finishing with WIFT NZ on 1 June 2010 in order to pursue her career
as a consultant, specialising in project/event/organisational
management and communications work.
