Greetings to all of you!
It was good to see all of you who attended the PCOC Board of Directors Meeting in Palm Springs. It was a busy couple of days and good to touch base with everyone as we approach the new year. A couple a great additions to this Board of Directors meeting was two continuous education opportunities that were well attended, and a new committee focused on Professional Women in Pest Control, which produced a big turnout. Many thanks to all those who were instrumental in organizing both events because they are important additions to our Board meetings and continue to add value to what we do. We also had a large attendance to our legislative reception as well. While we didn’t have the opportunity to hear from Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia, due to a traffic accident he was caught behind, we did have the good fortune of having our legislative advocate, Dominic DiMare. He did a terrific job of outlining the challenges facing PCOC in the future. By the way, Assemblymember Garcia actually did make it to our reception and had an opportunity to talk with a lot of people, so we appreciate his presence despite the traffic challenges. One takeaway that was very clear was we want a large attendance for our legislative days on April 3-5 in Sacramento, so we look forward to seeing you all there. Remember, your voices really matter and you can tell your story better than anyone!
