Meet Survey and Spatial New Zealand

MEDIA ADVISORY

28 August 2018

Meet Survey and Spatial New Zealand formerly known as NZIS.

Voting members agreed to the new name in a recent ballot. The legal name New Zealand Institute of Surveyors Inc. remains in place.

Survey and Spatial New Zealand President, Rebecca Strang, says “the new name reflects an important milestone in our history. It builds on our proud history and encourages better collaboration, diversity and engagement in the future.”

“As an organisation, we must acknowledge our heritage and our current strengths. We also need to consider how we move forward in an external environment that is rapidly evolving. We are serious about ensuring everyone – current members, potential members, central and local government, all arms of the sector and our communities – understand how we are positioning ourselves for the future” says Rebecca.

“Our members are very diverse and make important contributions to the built environment. Working together helps us all remain at the cutting-edge of technology and retain relevance. There are outstanding opportunities ahead,” says Rebecca, “as we continue to celebrate our role as professionals that create better communities throughout New Zealand”.

Work is underway to implement the new name and to apply it across all communication platforms. The new website URL, surveyspatialnz.org will be rolled out and @surveyspatialnz.org emails will appear in people’s inboxes.
