EVP NOTES — Leadership Academy 2015

As you know, PCOC puts on a Leadership Academy. The event is designed to train future leaders in our industry and is an invaluable opportunity to develop skills that transcend involvement in PCOC. In fact, I believe, it was one of the most important things that we do as an association. It is absolutely critical that we raise up new leaders within our industry as we look forward five to 10 years.

This year Leadership Academy will take place May 29 & 30 at the Catamaran Resort in San Diego. Each district is invited to send its Chairman and Vice Chairman for the upcoming year. Don’t be put off by this though! Anyone can attend. Attendees come away with abilities and ideas that they can use for the rest of their life. Here are some of the topics that we cover:

• History of PCOC and its structure, bylaws and decision making process
• Preparing and conducting a District meeting
• Finding Good Speakers
• Roberts Rules of Order
• Public Speaking
• Benefits of Membership in PCOC and NPMA
• The Legislative Process
• District Growth
• Finding Good Speakers
• District Fundraising and Budgeting

We should all be proud of this significant event, put together by YOUR association. If you would like to attend, please contact your District Chair or myself!!!!

IN MEMORIAM:

Dan Prechtl. President, Beneficial Exterminating. Chair,
