DACC SUBGROUPS
DACC stands as a coalition driven by its members. Together, our members unite to champion the cause of dog and cat welfare throughout Asia. We host regular meetings to facilitate fruitful discussions among our members, enabling them to address the challenges they encounter, share valuable insights, provide updates on their work, and seek assistance from one another.
In addition, DACC coordinators are entrusted with the responsibility of facilitating the meetings. They play a crucial role in ensuring smooth proceedings by taking comprehensive meeting notes, highlighting key action points, and fostering connections among the members. The coordinators act as a bridge, ensuring effective communication and collaboration among the DACC community.
