Committee Roles with NSWAGTC

NSWAGTC Committee Member Roles: ( established 2010)

Our Association is managed by an elected committee of members, who are voted in at the Annual General Meeting. The success of the association depends on the committee being representatve of all our members, and being able to provide relevant and approrpiate activities to support our members.

You might be the person we need - someone who is keen, interested in advocating for gifted children and families and from anywhere across NSW. We now are able to meet virtually - thus enabling our regional members ot be regularly involved in committee meetings and discussions. We are also able to nominate for short periods of time members to work on specific projects or tasks. This can be decided at the AGM, or during any year of operation.

Have you thought about taking on a role? At present, the structure of our committee includes these roles.
