NAC Executive Committee Update January 2023 One of our EC Members, Councillor Charlie Casey recently retired from public office, and attended his final EC Meeting in December 2022. Councillor Casey was a very supportive NAC member, serving on the Regional and UK Executive Committees over the past number of years. This included a two-year term as Regional Chairperson and later being elected as National Vice Chair and subsequently National Chair. We wish Charlie well in his retirement. NAC UK President Appointed November 2022 Cllr Beth Adger of NAC NI Region was appointed as National President at the 2022 NAC UK AGM and Conference which took place in Carlisle. This is a huge honour our region and the first time that a member of the NI Executive Committee has held the position of President of NAC UK, incorporating the regions of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
