The FEPPD Council meets four
times a year. The elected council follows up the daily work and
decisions taken by the AGM. Next to the AGM and the
Council, it is the Expert Groups
that play an important role in the organisation. The members of the
expert groups
regularly attend national and international meetings and are
involved in lobby work and upholding the position of the FEPPD. The organisational centre
of the FEPPD is its office in Brussels. All meetings are coordinated
there and important links to other organisations in Brussels are
established and maintained. The FEPPD office is also responsible for the
publishing of the newsletter and the yearly FEPPD "Who is Who"
publication. In additional to the
representation of dental technicians, the FEPPD also has several
mandates in the general health care sector from the UEAPME (Union Européenne
de l'Artisanat et des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises) and the NORMAPME
(Bureau Européen de l'Artisanat, et des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises
pour la Normalisation). |
