PDA will need to develop sustainable, viable and sound
arguments. Small Focus Groups of members will be invited
to participate in developing the detail of any proposals.
Much of the thinking behind the very launch of the PDA was based
on numerous Focus Group meetings that were held around the country.
It became very clear that such meetings added huge value to the
process of turning an idea into reality.
Working to refine policy
Much of the broader policy work of the PDA will be undertaken through
large scale surveys of members and ideas developed at conferences and
seminars. However, ultimately the fine detail will need to be addressed
and this is where the Focus Group will have its say. You may
periodically be asked to participate in these Focus Group meetings which
may be held in your locality and usually early in the evening.
