As part of the MAV's ongoing strategic planning process, Council reviews the MAV committee structure at the beginning of each Council term. This year, the following committees will support the Council of MAV. Membership involvement is encouraged. If you would like to become involved please contact the CEO, Jennifer Bowden or President, Kerryn Sandford.

Each of the committees has dedicated members delivering high-quality services for the Association and without the tireless support of the voluntary workers there would be no Association.

The responsibilities of Committees include:

• Overseeing the portfolio area for Council
• In conjunction with the CEO, developing for Council any policy recommendations in the portfolio area
• Providing MAV staff with support and direction for the portfolio area.
• Financial planning and advice for the portfolio area.
