“My rating of [PLA 2021] on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being outstanding, my score is 100! The content was just what I needed as a board member. The sessions were engaging and thought provoking. My thanks to the entire PLA team and presenters on a job well done. I am leaving well equipped with new ideas and validation of our work at Zion.”
