The PASA Process
- Co-ordinate all network activities
- Communicate with members to organize sessions – confirm venue, chair and notes taker
- Provide online and mobile platforms to enable network activities
- Develop agenda’s for sessions that address the real-time needs of participants
- Identify and recruit ‘external experts’ to facilitate ‘expert-led’ sessions
- Classify and load shared resources and notes from sessions into online archive (resource centre)
- Work with members to identify key issues or challenges that should be addressed at future sessions
"The PASA round tables have been well worth attending. Collaborating, sharing ideas and tools with other procurement professionals has been rewarding. The opportunity to chair some of the round tables has improved my leadership and professional development". Michael Paterson, Strategic Procurement Specialist, Pacific National

Your Investment
The PASA CONNECT model delivers exceptional value for money, providing huge amounts of opportunity for relatively little cost. The ‘per head’ cost decreases the larger the team that is joined as it is assumed that the individuals within a larger team will access relatively fewer sessions than those who are individual members or members of a smaller team.
