Dear PPC Members,

I am deeply honored and incredibly excited to step into the role of President for the upcoming year.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our outgoing President, Henry Wolfe, and the previous Board Members. Their dedicated leadership over the past year has given us a rock-solid foundation to build upon.

It was great seeing everyone at the beautiful Coeur d’Alene Resort.  We’ll be back!

What makes an organization our size special is our ability to remain agile while staying close and connected. Every voice matters, and every member directly shapes the PPC. As we look toward 2027, my primary goal is to focus on three key areas:

• Deepen Member Engagement: We want to create more opportunities for meaningful connection, mentorship, and professional growth tailored specifically to your needs.  We plan to accomplish this with more online resources directly from the PPC.
• Expand Membership: A focus on member retention and member acquisition.  With the new Membership Committee and input from all of you, we can amplify our reach.
• Grow Our Online Visibility: We will actively review new technology perspectives to ensure our organization remains vibrant and forward-thinking in the ever changing digital landscape.

Over the coming weeks, I look forward to speaking with as many of you as possible to listen to your ideas, feedback, and visions for the PPC.  I also encourage you to be inquisitive and visit our website, contact Committee members and get involved. 

We are excited to host our upcoming Spring Meeting in Fort Myers, Florida (March 7-9) and Washington, DC in the fall (August 22-24). Add them to your calendar!

Thank you for your trust, your passion, and your continued dedication to the PPC.  Let’s make this an incredible year together!

Warm Regards,

Sondra Tow
President
