National Council

The AA’s National Council is the paramount governing body of the Association. It comprises one representative from each of the AA’s 17 District Councils.

The National Council meets quarterly to consider matters of national policy and to receive reports from the Board and Chief Executive. 

The National Council has delegated authority over the AA’s commercial affairs to the Board, which consists of the President, Vice President and six other members elected from past and sitting National Councillors.

The Chief Executive and Association Secretary also attend meetings of the National Council.
