Whoa… what a whirlwind we are all currently living! With the continuous release of information, guidance and executive orders there is no doubt that we are all in overload mode. PCA has been working tirelessly to monitor and sift through the data to provide our members with relevant content for their continued success in coping with the COVID pandemic. Our goal is to support our members through these challenging times the best way we know how; equipping members with pertinent information and resources to make the best-informed decisions for their individualized operational practices.
In addition to sharing the relevant materials, we have embraced the virtual webinar experience to bring members together for real time question/ answer/ information sharing. Here are some of the most recent webinars conducted. All members have unlimited access to these webinars via the member portal on the PCA website or members can click on the links to the left.
