National Advisory Council (NAC)

Our National Advisory Council (NAC) is made up of member representation from each Chapter, Faculty, and Te Akoranga a Māui, our Māori special representative group.

The group meets quarterly to kōrero about member issues at a local level, and any significant concerns from those meetings are taken to the College Board for consideration.
