On November 22nd, the PCFC Board and staff gathered for a dynamic and productive two-year strategic planning retreat. With six staff and eleven Board members attending in person, and four additional participants joining online, the session encouraged focused collaboration, meaningful dialogue, and forward-looking thinking.
Through breakout discussions, participants examined priorities across PCFC’s four organizational pillars and explored opportunities to strengthen national impact. Key areas included staffing enhancements, growth of Support Groups, expanded fundraising and events, and enriched education, advocacy, and research initiatives. A summary of outcomes and next steps will be shared with the community in the New Year.
We are also pleased to congratulate Dr. Kishor Wasan, Chair of PCFC’s Scientific Committee, on his election as our newest National Board Member representing Saskatoon, SK.
