The Board meets approximately six times per year in addition to holding an annual strategic planning session. Meetings are a combination of in person and virtual conference meetings. Each board member is expected to attend one (or more) of our 10+ zone meetings. These are held each year across metro and regional WA and are a great opportunity to meet representatives from sheds across WA. The board are also expected to attend our conference held every second year.

• Health and Wellbeing (promotion/ research/ funding)
