The PGAV is pleased to release our Strategic Plan 2022-2025. The plan sees the PGAV enter into an exciting new phase in our evolution - we will grow from a knowledge and skills hub to an engine for sector-wide development focused specifically on a) addressing the sustainability challenges faced by the sector, and b) empowering our members to have a pronounced and sustained impact upon the social, cultural and economic wellbeing of the community.
