The IOPD General Assembly is the meeting of the network members to discuss and decide on the political direction, thematic priorities and the Work Plan of the organisation for the following year. The assembly meets every year in the framework of the annual conference, chaired by the host mayor, who is also the president of the IOPD, the other co-presidents and the secretary general. All members of the network are invited to participate: partners (local and regional governments) and collaborators.
