The case management for COSA New Zealand is distributed amongst committee members.

The chairperson in cooperation with committee members calls on a committee member or responsible member or other responsible person to work on cases as necessary.

The Secretary and the Treasurer of COSA New Zealand have the roles usually assigned to these positions. The Secretary assists the Chairman by disseminating information and appointments, and effecting coordination, including of assistance and support to cases COSA New Zealand has taken up.

The Chairperson and committee members help with cases and keep brief records of them.

COSA New Zealand committee members proactively attend groups, and attend public meetings and meetings to which they are invited, to listen to topics relevant to their aims, and sometimes to speak for or about COSA New Zealand and any or all aspects of its activities and concerns.

This committee member, and the Chairman, and other COSA members by agreement with the committee, may consider other speaking engagements.

COSA New Zealand committee members make enquiries privately into matters which sometimes become incorporated into the proper business of COSA.
