A Peek Behind the Curtain
For the PMPA members (or nonmembers) who wonder how things get done at PMPA National, here is a little peek behind the curtain.
During our spring online PMPA Town Hall, Tom Bernstein from Torin Products wanted to know what was on my wall behind me. (They were session sheets for planning our National Technical Conference.) He said, “To the members who even think about how things are pulled off, the staff at PMPA are sort of like behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz movie.” So here is a peek behind the curtain.
