2012 Strategic Plan

At the first meeting of the Executive of the PHAA Queensland Branch the strategic plan for 2012 was released. This plan was developed from the 2011 survey of Queensland PHAA members (see the news page of this website for a summary of the findings) who identified key target areas as well as the types of events PHAA-Q should host in 2012. Developing the plan on the basis of the survey ensures that PHAA-Q will meet the professional, development and social needs of the PHAA-Q members. 

To comment on the strategic plan, please contact our secretary Carmen Blatchly at carmen.phaa.qld@gmail.com
