Last week our PPA Executive met with each of the Deputy Secretaries and many of the Executive Directors working in Head Office to discuss their 2018 plans and answer some key questions. It was a great opportunity to learn of the upcoming initiatives and to question them on the expectations and support.

The Ed Services Review holds great interest for us and Deputy Secretary Georgina Harrisson & Executive Director Jane Simmons outlined the broad themes and the processes needed to address the findings.
