Public Service Delivery Network Advisory Group
The Public Service Delivery Network is advised by a group of experts representing local and national organisations from the voluntary and public sector.
The Advisory Group meet 2-3 times per year to shape our strategy; both what it is and how we deliver it. They also contribute huge amounts of time to chairing our events and helping us produce new resources.
We're hugely indebted to them for their kind support and committment.
