The PIA Company Council of Executive Officers (PIA-CCEO) has announced the start of nationwide distribution of its landmark program, The Value Difference Series, with an inaugural train-the-trainer session for PIA state and regional affiliates March 26, 2004 in Arlington, Virginia.

The PIA-CCEO is inviting all PIA affiliate executives and educational staff to attend a half-day Value Difference train-the-trainer session on Friday March 26, during the PIA meetings in Arlington, Virginia.

This session will enable PIA affiliate executives and staff to learn about the PIA-CCEO's Value Difference Series, see the finished product firsthand, and determine how PIA affiliates can use the many options available in offering the program in your state.

This train-the-trainer session is especially geared to affiliate staff that would be interested and responsible for offering Value Difference sessions to PIA members. That's why we urge affiliate executives to bring along their staffer or presenter who is involved in continuing education.

Limited scholarship dollars are available from the PIA-CCEO to defray some of the cost of sending a PIA affiliate education staffer or presenter.

Please plan to attend this session on March 26. Just fill out the PIA-CCEO registration form that was included in your meeting materials and send it in to PIA National. If you have any questions, please contact Pat Borowski patbo@pianet.org at (703) 518-1360.
