Chaired by Jon Wrzesinski (Shanghai American School) the committee is comprised of members, Andy Vaughn (International School Bangkok), Karen Seevers (American International School Japan), Cheryl Fullerton (Pasir Ridge International School), Jason Martin (Brent International School Manila), Steven Dodd and Dave Allen (International School Manila).
The PE Institute includes a one-day pre-conference will commence on March 25 at the International School of Manila Campus with Keynote Speakers Ted and Carolyn Temertzoglou who bring a wealth of PE/Health Experience to the conference.
