Education Director's 2008 Report to the Membership
2008 has been a banner year for the PCIA. Only a year ago we announced the creation of the PCIA at the 2007 AORE Conference. The excitement was immediately apparent as outdoor educators across America approached us and thanked us for “taking the plunge.” This year at AORE in San Diego it felt like everyone knew our name!
