How are they created?

The Board forms the Committees and Working Groups that support the Strategic Plan, and they report directly to the Board.

A Working Group has one specific task and is wound up once that task is finished.

Who can be a member?

Any Member of DanceSport Australia can be nominated. The Board votes to appoint, or remove, a committee member, and can do so at any time.

Committees may set up sub-committees or task groups for parts of their work.

Constitutional Committees

The Finance, Audit & Risk Committee and the Nominations Committee are required by the Constitution.
