The Natural Health Care Alliance Steering Committee
The Natural Health Care Alliance (NHCA) was founded in July 2003, with the current interim steering committe being elected at an Annual General Meeting conducted December 11, 2007. All committee members are experienced in the Natural Health industry, and are cognisant of the potential conflicts of interest exhibited through their business interests.
This interim committee has been formed as a temporary measure pending a comprehensive review of activities to take place in February 2008.
The NHCA seeks at all times to have a committee comprising both active practitioners and industry affiliated professionals in order to ensure the balance between advocacy and commercial viability for the Natural Health industry is being met.
