ASFA reveals organisational restructure
The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has announced changes to its structure, marking an “exciting phase of growth” for the organisation.
ASFA will be bringing its learning and events teams together under the recently appointed chief operating officer John Davis, with the aim of fully integrating the association's professional development offering.
As part of this, Amelia Doss has been appointed in the new head of events role, Stefan Simunic as head of learning, and Renee Gantner as head of growth and partnerships.
In addition, the former CEO of Women in Super, Sandra Buckley, has signed on as ASFA’s program and content manager, supporting both learning and events.
“With a renewed focus on member experience, we are looking to improve our industry-leading events program and our offerings as the longest-serving and only specialist superannuation learning provider,” chief executive Mary Delahunty explained.
“I’m excited to announce our new team lineup who will undoubtedly help us rise to the challenge.
“Amelia, Stef, Renee, John and Sandra are all well-known to our superannuation community and I’m delighted they are bringing their deep experience to these new roles,” Delahunty said.
According to ASFA, additional changes have also been made across its marketing, communications and policy teams to deepen engagement with members.
Delahunty continued: “ASFA goes beyond policy to practice: this is our strategic difference so our capabilities are changing to accommodate this.”
“Everything we do at ASFA is about aligning with our purpose as the voice of super – to unite the superannuation community, supporting our members with research, advocacy, education and collaboration to help Australians enjoy a dignified retirement.”
She said the news comes after a number of company milestones within the last year, including launching the Financial Crimes Prevention Initiative in September, deepening its relationships with the Reserve Bank and regulators, and building up the ASFA conference to become the largest pensions conference in the southern hemisphere.
“We’re better serving our critical service provider members, in recognition of the crucial role they play in the sector, and ASFA’s role as the only industry association that has members spanning the breadth of the ecosystem.”
“We’ve also been pleased to welcome a number of new members who have signed on in recognition of the work we have launched and delivered in the last 12 months.”
“ASFA is looking forward to unveiling some new offerings and better member experiences in the coming months,” the CEO concluded.
