Annual Report
As we start a new year it is important that, as a service led organisation, we review our performance throughout the previous year. 2010 will be marked by many of us as a very difficult year both professionally and personally. The difficulties felt by almost everyone from a shrinking economy, reduction in services from state agencies and cutbacks in the HSE,being the prime concern for people with Parkinson’s. For PAI it was a very much a year of change.
With that as the context, our commitment to people with Parkinson’s has not diminished and, as you will see from this report, our delivery of services has been maintained and in some areas enhanced. In April PAI successfully launched a very ambitious three year Strategic Plan. The plan outlines our starting point and a road map of where we wish to go in regard to our membership, services for people with Parkinson’s and awareness of Parkinson’s disease under six key objectives. As can be seen from this report, some objectives have been progressed well and others need more attention in the coming year.
Contact with our members and people with Parkinson’s who have not yet joined PAI, is critically important to us and throughout 2010 we endeavoured to ensure that this continued very strongly. In the first instance this required the continued excellent service provided by our Helpline Manager, Pauline Mahady.
During the year we continued with the process of strengthening our Board Governance with the cooption of ten new Board members, including myself to augment the existing three member Board, in May of 2010. In parallel with this the introduction of our CEO, Joe Lynch, has helped to ensure the roll out of our new policies developed from our Strategic Plan.
