Description
Mr. Sean Canney, T.D., Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development and the National PPN Advisory Group would like to invite you to the third National PPN Conference.
The PPN is a framework for public engagement and participation and is the main link through which County/City Councils connects with the community. The primary aim of the PPN is to facilitate and enable the public and the community to interact with local government and other relevant agencies.
The National PPN Conference provides an invaluable networking opportunity for Resource Workers, PPN Members/Representatives/Secretariats, County/City Council staff and Elected Representatives to share experiences and to learn from one another. It is also an opportunity for the Department and the National PPN Advisory Group to interact with all stakeholders and advise of the latest developments in relation to PPNs. The Annual Conference is a means to showcase the operation of PPNs in practice and highlight best practice experiences. It makes for an ideal setting to hear of the achievements of PPNs within their respective counties in partnership with stakeholders and an ideal occasion for local authorities to demonstrate their commitment and support of the Network and the fundamental principles behind Citizen Engagement.
