Advisory Group
The group is comprised of members from each of the "user" groups: Deaf, hearing impaired, deafblind and speech impaired, with the addition of a parent of a child with a communications disability.
The members of the Advisory Group are your points of contact should you have any concerns or frustrations (positive comments are, of course, always appreciated too). The group will provide NZ Relay and MBIE with feedback to help with optimizing the service for users. In this role they need feedback from the “users” of the service.
Role of the Advisory Group
- Provide service feedback.
- Provide technical feedback.
- Offer suggestions to the Outreach Manager for possible promotional opportunities.
- Provide feedback for possible product enhancements.
- Optional - attend promotional events.
