National Venture Forum Committee
Every October a National Venture Forum is held in Larch Hill. Each Province is entitled to send six Provincial Representatives, who have been elected at their own Provincial Forums. The nine elected Venture Representatives from the previous National Forum also attend and run the weekend. At the forum motions regard Venturing are passed and the NVFC is elected. The NVFC has 9 members (6 Provincial reps and 3 national panel members). The NVFC represent ventures at national and provincial level. They sit on programme teams (NYPC, International, Participation) and have the right to attend NMC meetings. The NVFC also compile reports for the Programme Commissioners to let them know how Ventures feel.
