In introducing this document, we wish to reiterate the commitment of the staff and the Association to the vision, mission, and values of the Organization. We are always mindful that the values of equity, excellence, solidarity, respect, and integrity should guide our actions and inspire new generations to better understand why we work for an institution like the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).

On this occasion, the Staff Association will be reporting to the Executive Committee on the following topics: a) relations between the Association and Executive Management; b) the importance of a working environment that promotes trust and creativity; and c) a responsive system of internal justice.
