It has been my distinct honor to serve on the PLC board. As the longest serving member of this current compostion of members, I know the quantifiable criteria established for service on the board-particularly the commitment and dedication required. Each and every member clearly understands policy decisions made have direct implications and consequences for the fragile population of young people we indirectly serve. As an "evidence based" organization commited to providing quality "life impacting" services for young people, PLC is in my mind, the standard bearer and an organization worthy of exemplary model status.
