NZAVS Advisory Board
NZAVS Advisory Board
The NZAVS Advisory Board represents the different universities and organisations involved in the NZAVS. The board meets once per year with the central management team to advise on long-term strategic planning for the NZAVS. The NZAVS is a nationwide study, and it is important for the study to represent and respect diversity across the nation. The advisory board ensures that different universities and partner organisations are consulted about the long-term strategic plan for the study. We hope to grow the advisory board organically to include representation from other partner organisations and groups as the NZAVS continues to develop.
