Regional committees consist of PDA members from different sectors of the profession who collectively and individually have responsibility for recruiting, engaging and representing members in their region. Alongside the networks of PDA workplace representatives, policy research and casework handled by the PDA, the regional committees provide an important source of information about current and emerging practice and conditions.
