PSDNetwork Progress Report 2009

The Network secretariat succeeded in its goal to become the first point of contact for the Network. Both for the partners of the Network and those interested from outside the Network know to approach the Network Secretariat for questions and suggestions. The Network Secretariat is also seen as a passage through which information can be distributed. The Network Secretariat shares information through a distribution list that consists of around 85 Network Partners and 60 interested.
Without an active policy on this point in 2009 there is room for improvement in 2010.

In 2009 the Network Secretariat has put great emphasize on the creation of an ‘image’ of the PSD Network to make it recognizable for Network partners and outsiders, in order to create a sense of belonging to the Network.
