The panel were invited to send representatives to present at the SDS management board meeting on 12 June 2017. Lewis McConnell, Colette Martin and Hope Gordon gave an overview of the work of the panel and their plans for the future, and answered questions from the board on topics such as the challenges they face as a widely-spread national group, what they see the impact of the panel as being, how to identify and support the next generation of panel members and how the board, staff and panel can best support each other.
