Presidents Report June 2004
Welcome to all new members and thank you to all the interim PEC Board members. The Primary Executive Council has undergone massive changes in membership, especially at the Board level with most of the Board receiving promotion to Principal level. It has been a very busy time keeping our head above water over the past six months.

For those APs and DPs receiving this newsletter for the first time, may I introduce you to the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to represent you.

The Primary Executive Council participates in many areas and is often asked for feedback on Primary and leadership issues. Please read the following reports for an update on our activities.

We will be holding a forum for primary executive in Term 2. If you are able to come, it will certainly open your eyes about the massive changes occurring in education at present.

I commend your participation in the Association to make it the best it can be. If you would like to receive further newsletters, please complete the accompanying membership form, or download one from our website.
Janette Ortlepp
President - Interim Board

Membership
The Primary Executive Council of NSW has the potential to be the largest professional teachers' association in New South Wales. As such it would be in a position to have a significant impact on the future directions of education.
Encourage your executive colleagues to join and contribute to the profession. Please pass on the attached membership form so that we can grow as an association and be more effective in our role as decision makers within the educational arena.
