IPPN

Published: 25 September 2007

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you well in your leadership role at the beginning of this new school year. Despite the many school-related impositions on your time during the summer, I hope you had a relaxing holiday.

IPPN as a professional body supporting school leaders continues to grow, due in no small measure to the support and commitment of members like yourself. Because of your strong support, the professional and business services IPPN offers to you and your school are constantly being improved and expanded. The more your school increasingly avails of IPPN's recommended services, the more you strengthen IPPN as your professional body and its capacity to support you professionally.

The membership Fee for 2007/2008 has been set on the basis of school size as follows:

o Smaller schools with Teaching Principals: €220
o Larger schools with Administrative Principals: €250

Please note that membership of IPPN is an appropriate expense payable by your Board of Management (Circular 14/02). In real terms, when your Board of Management pays your IPPN membership fee, the actual savings to your school are many times greater than the fee itself.

Membership renewal forms will arrive to your school this week or can be downloaded from IPPN Membership Form 2007/08

Completed forms and a cheque for the relevant fee should reach the IPPN Support Office by Friday 5th October 2007.
