REPORTS FROM COUNCIL Council is proposing that a fee equivalent to 25% of the annual membership fee be charged. More information about the proposal is on page 21. Postgraduate Education Application Change Council approved a consultation on a proposed amendment intended to provide greater clarity to the membership with respect to postgraduates’ annual application process. A fee change is not being contemplated. More information about the proposed change is on page 21. Council also reviewed the finalized annual questionnaire for postgraduates. The questionnaire is modelled on the annual renewal form that is completed each year by the general membership. Strategic Plan 2015-2018 Council has set the direction for the College over the next three years with its approval of four initiatives that will be a primary area of focus. As part of this new stage of the strategic plan, the initiatives will be used to strengthen our core regulatory functions and achieve our vision of Quality Professionals, Healthy System and Public Trust. The four strategic initiatives are: the Quality Management Partnership; the Transparency Initiative; Education; and Data Management. “As the health-care system evolves and expectations change, we will focus on those initiatives that will position us well for the future,” said Dr. Marc Gabel, College President.
