The National Board of Directors, the National Staff, and the volunteer leaders of the Chapter Presidents’ Leadership Symposium (PLS) Committee were on hand to discuss the Society’s mission in the A/E/C industry, the vital role chapters play in delivering value to members, the challenges of leadership, and the resources available to chapters through the national organization.
