LASA Committees

LASA operates Members’ Advisory Committees (MACs) in each state. These committees provide a formal channel for Members to alert LASA to emerging issues and strategic, policy and operational priorities, challenges and opportunities facing the sector. The MACs also ensure that LASA’s advocacy activities and Member services reflect current Member needs. Click here for the State MAC Terms of Reference. Representatives in each state are as follows:
