Meeting Minutes AGM Info Committee Roles
MEDANZ is fully volunteer run. The day to day running of the Association is managed by a committee of members and their details are listed below. Other members also regularly contribute to the organisation via submissions to Newsletters, the website or on sub-committee (e.g. for organising Festival).
​
A new committee is elected annually in April at the MEDANZ Annual General Meeting (AGM).
