NISO in the regions
NISO's secretariat supports a network of dedicated volunteers organised in 8 regions to be closer to local members in a think national and act local way.
This structure serves members of NISO well: members are encouraged to join their regional branch and attend their regional committee meetings. The meetings provide a forum in which to discuss occupational health and safety issues and to organise events that address topics of interest.
