Co-Executive Director of SAMS

Delia Nolan is a policy professional with extensive experience in advising decision-makers. She is currently the Lead Advisor to the Chief Commissioner at the Human Rights Commission, Te Kāhui Tika Tangata.

Delia is a strategic thinker and spends much of her time imagining ways to combat discrimination in Aotearoa. Her career in policy supports her desire to improve outcomes for vulnerable communities. Of Ngati Porou descent and with lived experience of a disability, Delia is a strong voice for tāngata whaikaha Māori. In order to be able to articulate that voice, she is currently undertaking her Masters in Indigenous Studies.

In her spare time, she likes riding her motorbike and hanging out with whānau.
