There were 14 delegates as part of the Roundtable who ranged in age from 15 to over 60 years old with diverse abilities and backgrounds.

The FRANK Team created action research templates for the teams which helped them implement their research plans and prepare their presentations to the Minister about their findings. This was done through online conferences, email, phone contact and tele-conferences.

The FRANK Team also delivered professional development training in the areas of project management, public speaking, networking and media skills to assist the delegates in their Roundtable experiences.The FRANK Team developed all entire program structure and material for the delegates and submitted the final report to DEST.
