SUMMARY:September Open Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The September ‘virtual’ Open Meeting provided an update on what the ADCH has been doing; how members have worked through the crisis\, and looked forward to the rest of the year\, and 2021.  We had a Legislative update\, a report on the Annual Return results and a speaker from Petplan informed about the 2021 ADCH & Petplan Awards. \nIn the afternoon\, we split the programme into four ‘Breakout Sessions’ – two covering dog issues\, two covering cats.  In each session a Facilitator invited two or three speakers to give a brief (5-10 mins) overview from the perspective of their organisations and then there was a discussion with attendees.  At the end of the session\, the four groups came back together and the Facilitators provided a top-line summary of their respective group’s discussions. \nEvent Recording\nA recording of the event is available in the Members Only Area.
