Membership does not in itself connote adherence to any specific policies or positions. By joint action of member organizations, working groups may be established to carry out particular functions or develop programs on specific issues. The network holds regular internal meetings, mostly in Washington, open to all members. The meetings provide opportunities for exchanging information, strategizing and planning activities. Efforts are made to include groups outside of Washington in meetings through telephone conferencing.
External meetings are also organized.
The secretariat is located in Washington and primarily serves to coordinate communications with the membership. Back to previous page.
