Committees of the ANMAC Board

 

The ANMAC Board has established Board Committees and working groups for specific purposes in accordance with its objectives. These Committees and working groups assist the ANMAC to fulfill its strategic goals and meet its legal obligations. The chairperson of each committee is appointed by the ANMAC Board.
