Contact NSA Regions
NSA is split into nine different regions, including Scotland, Cymru/Wales and Northern Ireland Regions. Each region is represented by a committee including a Regional Chairman and Vice Chairman, Regional Manager/Secretary and a Regional Treasurer.
Members residing in each NSA region are encouraged to contact their Regional Manager or Secretary to find out about activity within the region, seek advice and connections relevant to their areas of interest, provide feedback on NSA activity and suggest new ideas. Regions will either respond to queries themselves or pass it to relevant NSA Head Office staff.
