As we continue the search for a suitable representative from the region I would still request to know from either the EC or even membership fraternity whether it's that I am not eligible for this position or I am non-active member of the group.

If you would like to know more about the NCUC EC, please feel free to reach out and we will gladly have a chat. If you think that you could contribute to enhancing the role of non-commercial interests but might still be unsure about where to start, we can also help you. However, we do encourage you to get in touch - we're nice folks ha :)
