WORKSHOP

PROCESS

From the discussions with Regional Leaders held
at Leadership Forum and the ideas put forward
there, the Partner Relationship Manager works with
our partners to develop workshop topics and basic
content, the topics support the Dairy Tomorrow
Strategy.

These workshop ideas are then presented to
Regional teams in a survey called the “Expression
of Interest”. There are generally two Expression
of Interest surveys each year, one covering the
period from the end of calving until Christmas and
a second survey covering February-June. Partner
workshops are rolled out from October to June.

This survey is sent to all Regional Leaders. It is
recommended that each regional team works
together to create an Annual Plan alongside
selecting workshops for their members in their
region. Then one Regional Leader completes the
online survey on behalf of the team.

With the results of the survey we consult with the
partners about locations and date ranges that
their presenters are available. The workshops are
allocated, and then the Events teams works with
Regional Leaders to work out agreed dates. Venues
and catering are also discussed with Regional
