Introducing New Leadership Council Vice Chair, Scott Kleiner
I truly value PiD's mission statement. As I look at it now, the clear focus on "attracting", "retaining" and "developing" talent provides a strong strategic framework for every program and event PiD creates. That focus helps foster wider perspectives and stronger connections throughout the region.
