Our Steering Committee

The steering group helps establish our strategic goals each quarter, stays across external deadlines and the wider context, and monitors working group progress and wins — for instance, already the Australian International Development Network has signed up to the refugee leadership participation pledge. Small statements of intent like this are worth noting.
