As VSA Council member, Tiffany Babington, concludes her time with the Council, we take this opportunity to formally recognise the significant contributions that she has made during her tenure. Over the past few years, Tiffany has brought a wealth of expertise and experience that has been invaluable to the Council and VSA’s work. Her background in the diplomatic sector has allowed her to provide thoughtful and valuable solutions to any challenges faced as well as the work of the Council.

A key highlight of Tiffany’s work with VSA was her leadership in the role of Chair of the Governance and Organisational Performance Committee where she successfully oversaw an update of VSA's constitution, charter and life member process as well as an independent governance review of VSA's Council.
Throughout her time on the Council, Tiffany has consistently demonstrated a commitment to collaboration, working across party lines and engaging with members of staff beyond the Council to ensure that every decision is reflected in the diverse needs and perspectives of those we serve. Her ability to navigate complex discussions and her focus on long-term solutions will leave a lasting impact on the Council’s approach to governance.
On behalf of the entire VSA whānau, we thank Tiffany for her dedication and service. Her expertise, leadership, and insight will be greatly missed, but the legacy of her work will continue to shape the Council’s decisions for years to come. We wish her all the best for the next part of her journey and we are both grateful and confident that her work will continue to make a difference wherever she goes. Hāere rā, Tiffany!
