About BIA Sub Committees

The Boating Industry Association of Victoria takes direction from four sub committees that meet monthly to discuss the best way forward for the BIA.

The sub committees cover the following areas:

  • Finance
  • Membership
  • Promotions
  • Education and Training 

The sub committees are made up of BIA members with a special interest or knowledge in the specific area and Board Directors. 

We encourage all BIA members to take an active part in these sub committees.
