At the Term 1 State Council Meeting Presidents from all PPC’s will be in attendance. This week I have emailed Presidents the vacancies that currently exist on Reference Groups. These positions are filled by contact people in individual PPC’s. Your President will contact you if you are a contact person and if there is a vacancy for:

Contact people are alerted to the opportunity to join the Reference Group (and can also choose to remain the contact person only for their PPC). Presidents within the PPA Region will talk with the Chairperson and they will collaboratively decide which contact person is best positioned to join the Reference Group. For example, if there’s a position vacant on Assets from the Riverina Region, the Presidents from Wagga, Deniliquin, Griffith and Albury will call their ‘contact person’ in their PPC to see if they are interested in taking on the position. The Presidents and the Chairperson will discuss those candidates and make a decision on who will represent the Region.

Members of Reference Groups and Standing Committees are responsible for attending a set meeting in Sydney each term. They are to gather concerns and feedback from their Region and present back to the RG and SC. They are often required to follow up, contribute to tasks and attend additional meetings from term to term. The members of the RG and SC are also responsible for communicating to the contact people in each of the PPC groups in their Region. These reports are to be shared and discussed at the PPC meetings held each term.

Vacancies for Standing Committees will be advertised as EOI’s in Week 9 this term. These positions are filled by Principals that express interest to share their interest and expertise in particular areas.
