More
than 80 PMCB and RPMT leaders from 18 provinces of the three island
regions attended the MASIPAG All Leaders' Conference in Kabankalan,
Negros Occidental last April 27-30, 2006. The leaders shared their
experiences in the different facets of leadership and life in
the organization. They proved that the strength and stability
of MASIPAG rests on the diligence and commitment of the PO, PCB
and RPMT.
The
theme of the conference is "Solid leadership: Key to a continuous
movement towards change" which aims to further strengthen
MASIPAG and the member organizations, especially the POs and Provincial
Consultative Body.
