Advocacy: AIDN National, through understanding the national industry’s view, will represent SMEs by providing a “voice” for their issues and concerns and promoting members capabilities.
Representation: AIDN National will provide leadership and build and maintain key partnerships at local, national and international level, through influencing national policy and strategy and maintaining key relationships with political and government decision makers.
Member Services: AIDN National, acting as a central point of coordination, will service its chapters and their members through providing relevant information and awareness on the defence and security environments, opportunities for collaboration and engagement and governance oversight.
