The 3rd PIA General Meeting was held on February 27,
2014. CEO and Founder, Chere
Estrin, welcomed all and detailed the purpose and mission
of the association. To date, we’re
proud to announce PIA has 506
members. This is a very different kind of association because
we are global. Nothing, to our
knowledge, has been done in
the past like PIA.

We met Marisa Holladay,
the new Marketing Director for
OLP and PKI who will help provide marketing, structural and
organizational assistance to PIA.
We also met Sue Byerly who is
the Director of Administration
serving PIA, OLP and PKI.
