Meet Our New Chair & Deputy Chair

Communications Officer • February 7, 2023

While many of our committee members of our Executive Committee for 2023 remain the same as the previous year, as of Feb 1, we have a few exciting changes we’d like to announce, including our new Community Networks Aotearoa Chair & Deputy Chair. 

Chair – Holly Snape 

We are thrilled announce Holly Snape as the new Executive Committee Chair. Holly is the Chief Executive of Community Waikato, and has worked in the community sector since leaving the University of Waikato in 2004. Community wellbeing has been Holly’s driving force for more than a decade. She believes in being informed about what is impacting our communities so that we can apply creative solutions to local problems. 


Deputy Chair – Liz Davies 

 Our new Deputy Chair is the wonderful Liz Davies. Liz is the General Manager of SociaLink Tauranga and has previously worked in public health, local government, adolescent health and mental health. She is driven by social justice, and equality.


We feel extremely lucky to have such passionate, values-driven individuals as part of the CNA whānau. To meet the rest of our Executive Committee, check out our team page here.
