Advisory groups

Our Board Advisory Groups give advice and support to our Board of Directors and Executive Staff in many important areas. Here is a list of PWDA’s current advisory groups.

Membership Engagement Board Advisory Group

The purpose of the Committee is to ensure that members voices are heard at all levels, provide advice to the Board about how best to engage hard to reach groups, communicate information back to staff via the President, provide a link between the membership and the Board, seek feedback about the activities and strategic direction of PWDA, ensure PWDA is being compliant with our own policies and procedures and the law, recommend incoming members to the Board and provide a membership report in conjunction with PWDA staff.

Convenor: PWDA Directors Steph Travers and Eva Sifis

Strategic Directions Board Advisory Group

Governance Board Advisory Group

The PWDA Governance Advisory Group (‘GovAG’) offers considered advice, recommendations, and counsel to the PWDA Board of Directors (“the Board”) in its ongoing oversight of the quality of governance, while offering board and members the opportunity to have input into the work of PWDA.

The GovAG is established to complement the work of staff and support the board as a way of enabling the work of PWDA to be completed as quickly and efficiently and with as much input from people with disability as possible.
