2010 PCMA Education Conference, June 13-16,2010

Have you marked your calendar yet for the PCMA 2010 Education Conference? More importantly, have you taken that next important step and registered?

Let me officially introduce myself... I am Mike McCurry, your Co-Chair (along with Bob Hancock) for the 2010 PCMA Education Conference. I am thrilled to be part of the volunteer leadership team, helping to plan and stage this wonderful event.

As you may know this conference was previously entitled the "PCMA Leadership Conference." While PCMA expects to preserve the historically intimate feel of this event, it's focus is broadened, and the program has been expanded to a three-day format. Here is a brief video clip introducing the conference:
