Vision for the Future of the Partnership for Dietetic Education and Practice◦ purpose of the session is to reflect on PDEP’s

strengths and limitations and begin the visioning for the future of PDEP

1. What are the strengths of the current partnership?◦ mandate, principles, able to achieve consensus to act on priorities, reach/ engagement of

members/ stakeholders to date, data/feedback/evaluation?

2. What are the limitations of the current partnership?◦ as above

3. PDEP’s focus (mandate) has been the “areas of intersection” among the 3 partner sectors. What is the collective view of the "mandate" of the dietetics education sector (CAPPHN meeting)? How would you define or describe the "areas of intersection" for a distinct and clear mandate for PDEP?

4. How do the sectors/members expect to be involved with PDEP in matters such as bringing issues forward, identifying projects, decision making, and ensuring PDEP is accountable to funders?
