Functions

This portfolio was created at an Annual General Meeting of the Students' Association last year.

It was intended that with the creation of such a position, that issues and interests at a national level could be represented at executive level. As with most portfolio positions a subcommittee assists in the preparation of recommendations to executive. Political clubs affiliated to the Students' Association have been approached in regards to representation on this subcommittee and most have taken this opportunity.

The present membership of this committee is seventeen. In addition to being responsible for affairs at a national level the National Affairs Officer is also responsible for liaison with the NZUSA, the Wellington Youth Council and the New Zealand Youth Hostel Organisation.
