Advocacy and Funding Project Lead:
Haemia Melling Haemia (pronounced Hay-mee-ya) Melling brings 15+ years of experience in banking; including delivering national mahi focused on social sustainability and community impact. Haemia's learned how to wrangle big-picture strategy while keeping people at the heart of the work. Those skills help her spotlight the value of Toy Libraries across Aotearoa, and find the right partners to keep play open to every tamariki. When she’s not championing toy libraries, she’s running her own ESG consulting business and chasing (at a respectable pace) after her two young boys (and Jeff, their 'very good boy' Labrador) in Cromwell. |
