Before we move into the summer, I just wanted to thank all the people that made our Expo a huge success this year at Disneyland. It was an action-packed few days and couldn’t have happened without the leadership of the executive committee and the outstanding work of PCOC staff. Speaking of leadership, a special thank you goes out to Mike Bullert for all his work over the past year, and we wish him nothing but the best!  We also welcome Baron McDonald as our new PCOC President and look forward to his contributions in the coming year. I also hope as you reflect on our Expo, that you’ll share your thoughts with us about how we can make it better in the coming years. What’s exciting to me is we had a terrific group of speakers, including the opportunity to listen to California State Treasurer and leading candidate for California Governor John Chiang, as well as Department of Pesticide Regulation Director Brian Leahy. We are already planning for next year in Lake Tahoe, so hope to see you all there.
