ZONE 6 Presidents Meeting
This past weekend Gary Glover, Zone 11 Rep, Craig Kugler, PCA EVP, and I held the 2024 Zones 6 and 11 region presidents meeting in Bend, OR. My thanks to the High Desert Region for hosting the meeting.
The region presidents meeting is held early in the year to work with the new and returning region presidents to help them understand their roles and responsibilities. It is a time to share and discuss common issues, such as how do we get more volunteers.
The 2024 meeting again proved to be a valuable learning opportunity for all. Gary & I shared presenting the region presidents’ roles and what to keep an eye on. Craig discussed Risk Management and what PCA National is focusing on. These include; more focus on digital – membership cards, loading back issues of Pano to the website, website redesign. Yearly, we remind the region presidents that a key focus for them is Risk Management. Without affordable insurance, PCA could not hold events.
Craig reminded us that 2025 is PCA’s 70th anniversary and asked us to save the date, 13 September 2025, and as National is working on a coordinated celebration with the regions.
