Effective January 2023, WADA’s NADO Expert Advisory Group (EAG) is comprised of ten elected representatives, with two from each of the five regions (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania). Late in 2022, WADA organized regional elections for the NADOs to choose their ten representatives. These ten members are responsible for representing the views of the NADOs and bringing them forward to the WADA Foundation Board through their elected Chair and Vice-Chair sitting on the Board; and reviewing anti-doping matters impacting NADOs and providing relevant guidance and recommendations to WADA to enhance collaboration with and development of NADOs globally.
