Committee Restructure

In 2022, a number of changes were made to Statutory Committees. These changes came after a review of the composition, relevance and effectiveness of TNRD committees. Changes made ensure that these committees align with the strategic plan and priorities of the Board. This was the first significant review and restructuring of TNRD committees since 2007.
