We’re pleased and excited to see our newly appointed National and Regional Executive Committee members stepping into their roles.
The decision to trust an individual with such a position is not taken lightly. We understand that all members who voted in favour of our representatives did so because they know them to be the very best – which is how we know that we have the cream of our industry’s skills, expertise and talent taking our association forward over the coming year.
Of course, skill and talent aren’t the only attributes our Executive Committee members bring to their positions. They also make an enormous investment in time – which is why we are truly grateful for all they do.
We’ll be profiling each region over the coming months so that you can get to know your executive committee members a little better but, in the meantime, we’d like to introduce you to your appointed representatives:
