Institute Council

The Institute Council is a cross-section of community, industry, staff and student members who provide input on community, business and customer needs and issues.  This important connection with stakeholders' representatives assists the North Coast Institute to improve and promote its services throughout the region.  The Council provides a high level of support and advice, particularly in the areas of planning and innovation and improving links with industry and other education sectors.
