The first face-to-face ADDN Steering Committee meeting for 2017 was held in Sydney on March 21st. Commitment by all of ADDN’s stakeholders was shown by the attendance of nearly all members of the Steering Committee from Australia and New Zealand, including participation from JDRF, APEG and ADS. Membership is based on the newly formed governance structure which aims to have equitable and transparent representation from all jurisdictions.
