Steering Group 2026
NZAOA’s Steering Group is composed of C-level executives from member organisations as well as UNEP FI and PRI, the convenors. Elected every two years by all signatories, the Steering Group meets quarterly and sets the strategic direction of NZAOA. The regional leads adapt NZAOA’s global strategy to their region and act as representatives for that region on the Steering Group.
