Strategic Planning 2023
The Board of Directors met in April to Strategically Plan for GPCA's Future.

Every year the Board of Directors met to Strategically Plan for GPCA's Future. This year the planning was once again led by Gabriel Eckert. Eckert helps to lead, direct, and qualify the goals the Board will set for themselves and for the staff in the coming year.

Part of that planning has led to an overhaul of BugBytes, streamlining it's look and presentation. Further, no event information will be given in BugBytes going forward, only news from GPCA, the industry, and GPCA membership. If you have a newsworthy event or notable anniversary, please send that information to Lydia Crabtree, Communications Coordinator.

Stay tuned to more changes and exciting editions to membership benefits in the very near future!

After Strategic Planning 2023, the Annual Charity Golf Tournament to support Hands United Foundation was held. See pictures of the winners HERE!
