European QP Association Engagement Board
During the QP Forum 2023 an initiative was made public to establish a new platform to selected EQPA members - the EQPA Engagement Board. This board is comprised of volunteers who want to get actively involved and who meet on a regular basis - with the purpose to collect and provide feedback to the EQPA Board members on hot topics among fellow QPs. Please also see the EQPA Engagement Board's charter.
