Getting Invoved Behind the Scenes in UNYANZ - What's What?

UNYANZ has a dedicated team that makes the organisation tick, and helps provide all the opportunities to members that we do. We are always keen to get more skilled and enthusiastic people to help us achieve our goals.

Regional:

The easiest way to get involved is to volunteer your time to your Regional Council for work on project teams. Your Regional Council will let you know if there is anything they need help on. If you wish to contact your Regional President, you can find their contact details on the Contact Us page.
If you are nominated at the AGM of a Region (usually held in March/April each year - have a look at the regional pages for more information) then you can hold office on your Regional Council. Regional Council's coordinate the running of Regional events and work with the National Council to achieve our organisation's goals.
Work around your region is a great way to meet new people, make new friends and have a great time in helping our unique organisations provide value for our members.
