At the 2022 ADIESA Annual General Meeting, three elected board members will be stepping down and an election will be held to fill these vacant positions. This is an opportunity for Members to nominate a Representative onto the ADIESA Board, which is a great chance for organisations and individuals to make a significant contribution to the ADIESA mission and enhance collaboration between Defence and industry. The ADIESA Directors are critical to building impartial relationships with key Defence stakeholders on behalf of our members in order to enhance collaboration between Defence and industry.
