Part of our planning and organizing of events is to help to foster member awareness and engagement, and include a cinnamon bun and coffee event planned in the spring in collaboration with the IT sub-group and our first Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held in May 2026.
We will be holding our first elections at the AGM, for the Secretary and Member At Large positions, leaving the President, Vice President and Treasurer positions to continue the work of standing up the sub-group.
Enough cannot be said about the all the guidance and support that has been offered by other local PIPSC group members and from members of the SH Group Executive Team. Everyone has been amazing and so helpful.
We look forward to further learning and collaboration as we work towards providing our members with engagement and awareness opportunities in 2026.
