This one-day event will bring together local DRB users and active and aspiring practitioners to understand current use of the DRB process in the region and share lessons learned. Be prepared to work in small groups to identify productive initiatives that the DRBF can consider to raise the profile of DRBs and support effective best practices for their implementation.
