Each month the PPA Communication team comes together to plan the next eNews and look over what is going on with the staff. One of the prevalent themes is always how much the staff is out and about— sharing findings, learning about policy changes, making recommendations, meeting with clients (current and past), facilitating, presenting, etc. It seems we as a group like to escape the virtual world whenever we are given a chance!
To dive into this further, PPA CSO, Dr. Dan Quinn, is contributing the first article, looking at each of the conferences and events PPA has coming up and have attended recently. Each conference is an opportunity for us to positively influence policy where we can.
Take a look and see if our paths will be crossing anytime soon! If we are able to see you at one of these events be sure to say hi.

Michigan is making some progress overall, but it is a slow and arduous climb with staffing challenges getting in the way.
