Are you interested in becoming a consumer representative?
| Update (30 September 2009): The National Consumer Agency wishes to thank all those who replied to our invitation to become a consumer representative. The panel is now closed. |
3 September 2009
The National Consumer Agency is establishing a panel of consumers who would be willing to serve as consumer representatives, and which interested organisations can draw on in order to inform their work and include consumer perspectives.
The consumer representatives will come from all walks of life, with one key thing in common: a strong commitment to defending consumer interests and ensuring that the consumer voice is heard.
While the NCA is facilitating the establishment of the panel, once it is established the panel's members will act in their individual capacity and will not represent the NCA or its views.
