Nominations are open for two voluntary positions on the Secretariat of Clare PPN until Wednesday, October 28th at 5PM. The secretariat is a group of people elected from PPN member groups who manage the Public Participation Network in Clare on behalf of all its members.
The two vacancies are for Environmental College Representatives.
