Meet Our Board

AACS’ Board of Directors is elected annually, and comprises individuals with a diverse range of skills and backgrounds. All board members are from the local area and, as such, have a strong affinity for the organisation and the community that it serves.

The Board meets monthly to discuss strategic objectives, review progress, maintain financial oversight, update policies and set priorities moving forward.
