The governance and operational affairs of the SGFP are coordinated and supported by the SGFP Coordinating Team (CT).
The CT contributes to the preparation of the Executive Committee meeting agendas, monitors financial performance of the Section, and advises the Executive Committee on emerging factors which may impact the Section.
In general, the CT does not undertake the operational work of the Section as that will be managed/addressed by the Working Groups, a limited number of Standing Committees, and staff/consultant support.
The 2022-2023 Coordinating Team are:
Dr. | Mastrogiacomo | Cathy | drmastro@rogers.com | District 11 | Chair |
Dr. | Schieck | David | davidschieck@hsfx.ca | District 3 | Past-Chair |
