CPWD Management Board Meeting feedback In-person meeting feedback Following the last CPWD meeting there was a lot of positive feedback about the meeting and particularly about meeting in person. Partners reflected on the benefits of being able to network informally before and after the meeting. There was also some comment on the increase in participation from members during the meeting when we meet in-person. Based on this informal feedback it could be worth considering increasing the in-person meetings to twice annually. The decision to do so would need to consider any negatives that could include increased travel time. Additional Agenda Items for CPWD to consider: After discussion it was agreed that the following agenda items would be discussed at pre-agenda for potential inclusion on the agenda for CPWD in August. a). Up-date on the recent Community Planning event (Climate Hub) (SR) b.) Up-date on Community Learning and Development (CLD) – Stephen Brooks, Working4U Manager) Action: if the Chair of the Management Board agrees to proposed agenda items, ET to make contact to arrange speakers.
