Emma Stokes blogs about making hard, not easy, choices
WCPT President Emma Stokes reflects on making hard, not easy, choices.

'Since being re-elected in May 2019 to serve a second term as President of WCPT, I have been reflecting on what activities should we, as a global organisation, be doing ‘not because they are easy, but because they are hard’? I have some ideas but I am also very interested in hearing from our community.'
