In my debut as author of this column, I provide updates on the direction and leadership of the PCEA, and Stephen Chavez shares his first “message from the chairman.”

In addition, Bob McCreight, president of the Silicon Valley Chapter, discusses their “lunch and learn” event held in February. Last, we share our updated list of professional development and event opportunities, although some may be affected by the Covid-19 outbreak. Stay tuned for more updates.
