WHAT IS THE EXTERNAL AFFAIRS BOARD?
The External Affairs Board was established to provide leadership and guidance to the ADS external affairs team to fulfil the following remit. “ADS should be acknowledged by all constituents as the authoritative voice of the industry, providing strong policy leadership and effective and persuasive communication.” In 2008 it was decided to expand the remit of the Communications Board to incorporate Government relations.

If you are interested and request to join a Board or Committee it will require further follow up from the group owner to confirm vacancies and suitability.
