PAC executive election
Our annual PAC executive elections will take place at the October 21 PAC meeting. The parent volunteers currently serving as chair, co-chair, secretary and treasurer are standing for re-election. However, anyone else interested in putting their name forward for any of these positions is welcome to do so! Many hands increase our capacity to support our children’s education, there is much work to be done on the various committees, and most executive roles can easily be shared by a couple of people. If you have any questions about the roles, please feel free to ask anyone on the executive (contact information is on the PAC website). If you are interested in running, please let the chair or co-chair, Marina Percy or Alan Patola Moosmann know. Nominations can also be made from the floor at the PAC meeting. See you there!
Here are the minutes from the last PAC meeting on Wednesday, September 23rd:
