On behalf of the National PCEA Officers and Board of Directors, I would like
to extend an invitation to this year’s 46th PCEA Annual Convention in
Asheville, North Carolina. Amidst the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, we
will have the opportunity to learn, network and grow as well as take in all the
sights and sounds the beautiful area has to offer.
The Triangle chapter has worked so diligently to ensure this convention will
be safe, fun and informative. I cannot wait to see all there is to come! If you
have never been to a convention before, I encourage you to make this
year’s your first. There are many opportunities to learn and grow through
educational opportunities and professional development, to network through
social events and to enjoy everything Asheville has to offer.
It will be my great honor to return to the beautiful place I was introduced to this great organization,
handing over the gavel to President-Elect Lee Edwards and our new slate of officers. This past
year has been nothing short of trying, but I am confident that this next year will prove to be
fantastic. Thank you to everyone who has made my year as President a success. I look forward to
all that is to come.
I will be seeing you all in Asheville in April!
