2 President’s Report highlights -- November On November 8th, a workshop on govern- ance was held. There was representation from all constituencies -- the College Board. Senior Administration, College Operations Group, Education Council, the BCGEU, the DCFA, and the DCSS. I would like to express particular apprecia- tion for the assistance given to Bob Buzza and Al Atkinson in planning the work- shop, and in writing the scenarios, by Roberta Bend, Pam Burry, Erin Burton, Anne Fenton, Bev Miller, Walter Picker- ing, Peter Sanderson, and Des Wilson. A special thank-you goes to Jim Doerr, for acting as facilitator. I would also like to recognize the time and effort put into the workshop by Al Atkinson and Bob Buzza, Chair of the Finance, Facilities & Person- nel Committee. The workshop was very helpful to the Board in deliberations on fu- ture governance directions, and it was illuminating to all participants. On November 9th, I had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Laszlo Csismandia, President of the College of Commerce, Catering and Hospitality, from Budapest. Discussions on the feasibility of extending our joint interests resulted in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions. On November 17th and 18th, I partici- pated in the ACCC Ontario Regional Consultation in Ottawa. At the time of this presentation, I will be Chairing a meeting of the ACCC Executive, and meeting with CIDA officials regarding our next interna- tional contracts.
