It was wonderful to reflect on the remarkable achievements of our Alliance over the past four years at our celebratory event in late July. The Level 13 lounge of the VCCC building was packed with more than 80 attendees, including a strong consumer contingent and great representation from the Alliance members, staff, and friends of the Alliance.
The Strategic Program Plan, or SPP, has now concluded. It was a huge collective effort across our members and partners including 10 programs of work, involving more than 150 steering group members and 250 working group members.
