Meetings
The VODG usually has four main meetings a year, each lasting 2 to 3 hours, with a high profile speaker/s at each meeting - often a Government Minister. At one of the meetings each year we also have a popular annual dinner with a speaker and VIP guests - this is always a pleasant and convivial evening. There is also an away day held in the late summer to discuss major topics of the day. Normally the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) attends on behalf of member organisations but other colleagues may attend on behalf of the CEO. The VODG also facilitates a number of network meetings throughout the year for members HR Directors, Operations Directors and Finance Directors
