Background
The Professional Practice Network of Ontario (PPNO) is an inter-professional forum for professional practice leaders in Ontario. The PPNO was established in 1999 as a result of informal networking among individuals in a variety of Professional Practice roles across Toronto and surrounding areas.
PPNO quickly grew from an informal networking group and became an official incorporated entity in January 2002 complete with By-laws and an Executive Board. Current membership consists of over 80 organizations across Ontario as well as other provinces.
