Group Plan mini workshops

At yesterday's meeting of the Co-ordinating Executive Group the revised timeline for the review of the Group Plan was agreed to and the conduct of mini workshops supported. The CEG also recognised this blog as an official, albeit informal, means of communication for the Group.

Members have asked me to publish the dates for the mini workshops in the blog. The idea behind these workshops is for smaller focus groups of the CEG to debate and discuss best practice for the Group and how we go about achieving that through our Group Plan. We would like to maintain a consistent core of 4-5 people across the workshops to avoid going over old ground. Other Group members are welcome to participate in areas that particularly interest them.

The mini workshop dates are:
July 28 - Strategic direction
August 28 - Management & governance
September 11 - Risk profile
October 16 - Readiness & response #1
November 18 - Readiness & response #2
February 25, 2009 - Recovery
April 8 - Monitoring & evaluation
May 14 - Reserve workshop

Emergency Management Officer workshops are also scheduled to either 'operationalise' the discussions of the mini workshops or to inform discussions prior to the workshop. Discussions will also be had during regular EMO meetings. Either way, local EMOs will be fully involved in the redevelopment of our Plan. EMO workshops are scheduled for:
July 29 - Strategic direction
October 16 (pm) - Readiness & response
November 19 - Readiness & response
March 9 - Monitoring & evaluation
