PCS - AIM Joint Professional Development Program

The PCS and AIM have now joined hands to host and organize the Professional Development Program (PDP). AIM is participating under their Center for Executive Education and Lifelong Learning (EXCELL-AIM). The Memorandum of Agreement was signed during the MMM last Nov. 23, 2001, by Dean Eduardo A. Morato for EXCELL-AIM and Ms. Dittas Formoso, PCS President, for PCS.

Our PDP sessions have now found a permanent home! These will be held monthly at the AIM Center for Continuing Executive Education (ACCEED) or at the AIM Main Building.

Recognizing the value of our monthly back-to-back sessions on technical and personal development, EXCELL-AIM will work closely with the PCS on session content, and will also extend invitations to their graduates. According to Ms. Formoso, "Working with EXCELL-AIM can only increase the value and reach of the PDP sessions".

Since both the PCS PDP and EXCELL-AIM work towards the same goal - continuing executive education - this partnership offers participants greater opportunities for professional and personal growth.

The signing was witnessed by Dean Sonny Coloma of AIM, and some members of thePCS Board of Directors: Ms. Ann Gatmaytan, Mr. Gary Grey (Directors-in-Charge for PDP), Ms. Josie Cacdac, Mr. Rolly Corpus, Mr. Peter Que, Jr. and Ms. Ito Gruet, Chair, PDP.
