The Volunteer Reference Committee (VRC) provides valuable feedback on the volunteer operated museum sector and its requirements, as well as providing feedback on how M&G NSW’s services are meeting the needs of the sector. In addition, members of the Volunteer Reference Committee are involved in the assessment process of the Volunteer Initiated Museum (VIM) Grant Program and Leg Ups Grant Program.

 

Members of the Volunteer Reference Committee are chosen for their capacity to represent the volunteer museum sector in NSW. Care is taken to ensure a diversity is represented within the Committee, both in age and geographic location.
