Working Group Business Practice

Our work encompasses the commercial issues that impact on our clients and members alike. The group also holds responsibility for the governance, finances, promotion of the AGS and liaison with other organisations.

Strategic Plan

  • The BPWG keeping under scrutiny the business practice of the industry and how that impacts on Members;
  • promotion of the Association to the wider industry;
  • continuously reviewing the business practice of the Association and how it can be improved; and
  • managing the governance of the Association on behalf of the AGS Officers.
