Fact Sheet: ACCORD and its Members for Term 2016 - 2018

23 July 2016

The Advisory Council on Community Relations in Defence (ACCORD) was established by MINDEF in January 1984 as a channel for the community to provide feedback on MINDEF/SAF's policies and programmes and other issues related to Singapore’s defence.

Following recommendations from the Committee to Strengthen National Service (CSNS) in 2014, ACCORD was restructured in August 2014 with three Councils under its main ambit – an Employer and Business (E&B) Council, an Educational Institutions (EI) Council, and a Family and Community (F&C) Council – to tap on members' networks for greater participation and feedback on our NS system, as well as for members to proactively engage the community and strengthen their support for national defence and National Service. See Figure 1 for the structure of ACCORD and its Co-Chairpersons for the term 2016- 2018.
