College Commissioners have announced their assignments for the first block and have increased female officials’ assignments for developmental purposes. |

Provincial Supervisor | The plan was to identify the best communication vehicle to produce the desired results.

This information was submitted to Martha Bradbury, National Secretary Treasurer for inclusion in the national database and exam preparation on Game Plan. |
