The NSW Advisory Committee is a committee that represents the affiliated clubs in NSW.

The role of the committee is to help create a stronger sport, primarily by strengthening relationships between clubs and Australian Sailing; both listening and understand clubs needs and communicating the role of AS and the services we provide.

Specific responsibilities include: 

• Appoint the Delegate to represent the views of Member Clubs at AS General Meetings
• Contribute to the development of the AS strategic plan
• Provide local guidance and advise on state specific issues
• Assist with government and industry advocacy
• Engage with and provide feedback from clubs
• Assist with review of affiliation fee appeals
• Form a voting panel for state awards
