PGC International Message from the President
With our Annual Symposium (Protective Glazing in a Green World: Sustainability & Protection) complete and the results tallied I thought I would share some of the highlights.  The total attendance was (59) which included (41) of our (60) members, (5) potential new members, and (4) government employees. Initially we had planned for (106) to attend but as the Symposium date approached it became clear that adjustments needed to be made. I would like to compliment the staff on promptly responding to the situation which minimized our short fall due to the lesser attendance revenue.  For those that did have an opportunity to attend, the feedback was quite positive and was supported by the evaluation sheets completed at the conclusion of each presentation.  READ MORE >>
