Our National Advisory Board was inaugurated in 2004 to provide strategic advice to the Centre and help to develop and align the Centre’s research activities to the interests and needs of Government and the various ethnic and migrant communities represented in Aotearoa and internationally. The Board met three times a year with members being invited to serve a three-year term which could be renewed for a further three years. In 2015 the National Advisory Board was disestablished in favour of better strengthening our individual stakeholder relationships by direct and ongoing collaborations.
