The members of DPOD are non-governmental organisations of persons with disabilities (and their families) and not organisations FOR disabled people. The majority of the member organisations are single disability organisations. They are all engaged in activities on national and regional level - and some are engaged on local level. The highest body in DPOD is the national board. It meets once a year. The national board is composed of two representatives from each member organisation and one from each of the five regions, representing the local branches. The national board elects an executive committee with seven members (one chairman, one vice chairman and five board members). |
