LEADERSHIP TEAM ELECTED FOR 2022 

NO JAB, NO JOB? FREE WEBINAR 

Dear ADIA Members, 

Recognising the value of having a diverse, consistent and committed leadership team in place, I am delighted to announce the following office bearers were elected unopposed at last week's AGM for a one-year term:

• George Zdanowicz, CEO, Enhance Research, elected for a third year as President
• Marc L'Huillier, Partner in Advisory at EY Managing Partner of EY Sweeney, is Vice-President entering his fifth year
• Sarah Wrigley, Founder and Director, Gundabluey Research, is Treasurer for the third year, and; 
• Josephine Foti, CEO, Wallis Social Research, continues for a second year in the role of Secretary.

ADIA also welcomed the appointment and continued support of Ordinary Board members: Martin Filz, CEO, Pureprofile; Laura Robbie, General Manager, YouGov; Jenny Witham, Partner, Fiftyfive5; Rob McLachlan, Director TRA Australia; and Simon Wake, CEO, Ipsos, who are joined by newcomer Diane Herz, CEO, The Social Research Centre. 

Craig Young, Managing Director, Engine, has stepped down from his official capacity after eight years on the Board – including time as President and Vice-President – but kindly agreed to continue sharing his expertise as a Board Advisor. 

Representing a broad constituency with competing needs is no easy feat. Nonetheless, the ADIA Board delivers a wealth of industry experience and represents the Association's diverse company membership across type, size and locality. 

The Board also has the expertise to help ensure that ADIA continues to meet member needs across the full breadth of the industry, delivering relevant, reliable and accessible services for organisations of all sizes whilst maintaining excellent corporate governance and a high degree of transparency and accountability.  

I'd like to thank the members of the Board and Advisory Committee for volunteering their valuable time to ensure the stewardship of our industry body is robust and continues to bring value to all members.   Please join me in welcoming  Diane and our returning Board members.   

Kindest,

NO JAB, NO JOB?
