THE ROLE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL FORUM

The Environmental Forum is a long running forum and we want to know if it is still working for your organisation.  Some of the topics to discuss include:

o  Could the Environmental Forum be more productive?

o  Do you think we should be doing things differently?

o  Should the Environmental Forum meet twice a year instead of three times a year and should the meetings take place during the day instead of evening?

o  Could the Environmental Forum and TRDC give your organisation more publicity or support?
