A number of important consultative and governance meetings are being this week in the life of Edwardes College. The Finance Committee met this past Friday, 2 March 2012, to consider the financial reports that are being presented for consideration this week, and we are grateful to Dr. Nasser Ali Khan, an Edwardian who is Director of the Institute for Management Sciences, Peshawar, for chairing that meeting. On Sunday afternoon, 4 March, I met with the Executive Committee of the Edwardes College Teachers Welfare Association (ECTWA) to discuss ramifications of faculty organization plans that are to be considered at governance meetings.
On Monday, 5 March, the Executive Committee of the Board of Governors is meeting to consider all the many agenda items to be considered by the Board later, and we are grateful to the Rt. Rev.
