Wellington Parliament (the Beehive)
Last month, we kicked off the celebrations of 35 years of accreditation excellence alongside our New Zealand network at Wellington Parliament.
Colleagues, partners, and long-standing supporters gathered to recognise the organisation’s journey and the collective contribution of the network that has helped shape JASANZ over the last 3 and a half decades.
The evening featured remarks from JASANZ leadership, helping to frame the importance of the milestone and the ongoing role JASANZ plays in supporting industry and regulators.
“This celebration belongs to our network” is the sentiment echoed throughout the evening, recognising that our success is built on the collaboration, expertise, and dedication of our CABs, CBs, ABs, assessors, auditors, technical experts, partners, and broader community. Together, we support quality, confidence, and trust both now and into the future.
As we enter the next chapter, the focus remains on strengthening relationships, supporting innovation, and continuing to deliver internationally recognised accreditation services.
