Governance Flow
Mandate from members, direction through Council
MAN's engagement process reaches more than 3000 members who have a direct say in what the Association does and how it does it. National Council and Branch Council members are elected to terms of office, while standing committee members are invited to serve voluntarily based on sector experience and technical expertise.
The National Council is made up of a President, eight Vice Presidents, Treasurer, Chairmen of Branches, Chairmen of Sectoral Groups, and elected members. Past Presidents are life members representing special interest on the Council.
