Our Committee
The GSNV relies on the generous time and skills of numerous
individuals who make up our Committee of Management. Representation
by individuals living with and touched by genetic conditions,
health professionals, researchers, educators and interested members
of the community is important to us.
Our committee meets on a monthly basis and in accordance with
our rules and principles of incorporation makes important decisions
on how our organisation is run and how we provide our services.
