Committees

Bridge NSW has established six committees of volunteers to address the important priority work required to grow bridge in the state. Each committee has its own full terms of reference but core to each of them is working together with the other committees.

The work of the committees is reported on regularly in Bridging NSW. To jump to individual commitees use the links in the panel on the right.
