. “We continue to pursue a number of issues identified in the Strategic Plan set by the Executive Board for 2008-2011. For example, the meeting recognised the importance of education and training and received a progress report from a small group which is looking into the role of WPC in that area. It was agreed to investigate the creation of a category of membership for training organisations and this will be pursued prior to our next meeting.”

The second meeting of the WPC in 2010 will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 13-15 October and we hope to see representatives of our Australian and New Zealand members at that meeting.
