BASC is seeking to appoint new members to its Northern Ireland Advisory Committee.
The Northern Ireland Advisory Committee (NIAC) works in partnership with staff and BASC Council to meet the organisation’s strategic objectives.Â
The committee also acts as a sounding board for BASC policies and strategies and advises Council in relation to matters affecting shooting and conservation in Northern Ireland.
It is anticipated that the NIAC will meet on at least four occasions annually and meetings can either be in person or held remotely.
“I encourage anyone with an interest in shooting and conservation, who feels that they can make a positive contribution to the work of BASC locally, to submit an expression of interest, setting out how they meet the criteria.”
