National Associations Organisational Development – an EAPC Task Force
|
A new EAPC task force was established in Spring 2006 with the aim of surveying national association organizational development and their needs. The group aims to understand the needs of a broad spectrum of national associations across Europe.
Aims and Objectives
The task force aims to survey national association organizational development and find needs according to stages of development – be it beginnings, growth, maturity and decline. Based on the outcomes of this survey a training programme will be developed, including a session at the EAPC Hungary 2007 Conference. The steering group recognizes the need for open communication with all national associations. It notes there are a number of different definitions of national associations and sometimes more than one national association per country.
Members
This taskforce is a collaboration between EAPC and Help the Hospices. The steering group aims to include as wide a spectrum of national associations across Europe as possible, representing the mix of existing associations, large and small.
The steering group consists of the following
Chair:
David Praill, CEO, Help the Hospices
Members:
Ole Bang, Denmark
Amelia Giordano, EAPC
Philip Larkin, EAPC and Ireland
Natasa Millicevic, Serbia
Dr Daniela Mosiou, Romania
Eugene Murray, Ireland
Nick Pahl, Help the Hospices
Andre Rhebergen, EAPC and CEO Agora, Holland
Observers:
Amanda Bingley, International Observatory on End of life care;
John Bowis, UK MEP (when appropriate)
The Steering group invites the representatives of the European national association to get in contact and act as key reference points for the group.
Note
The EAPC Task Force on Development of PC in Europe uses the WHO definition of the European region - which has been considered to determine the 52 countries to be included in this study.
