The NSAC Team

The NSAC Team consists of four sub-teams, The Presidency, and The Board. Each team has one to two Director(s) and Organisers who oversee a particular area of the organisation’s work.

Typically the Team consists of around 30 ambitious and enthusiastic students who help put together our annual conference, our workshops, our newsletter and everything else the organisation does.

The Team is open to applications in December every year – be sure to sign up to the newsletter to stay informed!
