The first steps in investigating and mapping the sector will be done and a quality framework for the sector will be outlined, various knowledge sharing initiatives will be taking place like webinars and other events about topics of high interest and the first steps will be taken to outline the ideal regulations framework for a high quality wellness sector. The established work groups supporting the CWA Board are committed to support the strategy and actions to be executed going forward. The CWA is extremely proud and appreciative of the commitment of each and every work group member. With a total of over 20 work group members, the basis for an effective working environment has been set up.
