Committee

AUBC prides itself on its student involvement. Captains must be Adelaide Univeristy students and at least 70% of the committee must be Adelaide University students. This active student participation provides ownership to the student membership base and drives enthusiasm and energy within the Committee and Club.

The AUBC Constitution establishes the framework for the committee.
