European Delegates Meeting

PR at EU Parliament

February 2015, at the Winter EDM in Warsaw, delegates made a decision to form a workgroup. The workgroup has worked on the mission of bringing our message to the EU Parliament. There has been an EDM PI committee before so this was a reinvention of an old concept. On June 15th this year, members of this workgroup were invited to attend a seminar in Brussels at the EU Parliament to show a NA presentation and share experience with professionals. The workgroup will continue to plan and looking for opportunities to attend future conferences at EU parliament and within the European Zonal Forum.
