ADAPTING FOR A CHANGING INDUSTRY
At PNAA we are always looking at how we can effectively support our mission and vision . We regularly adapt our strategy to support the current needs of the industry . The changes that have impacted the industry over the past two years have changed how we conduct business . That is a dynamic situation that requires us to be agile to adapt to what the industry needs .
Much of this has come in the form of collecting feedback and adjusting our programming . We held a member survey to gather feedback , allowing us to learn how we could develop to serve the industry best . Armed with that information , we work together with the experience of the board of directors to put together programming that helps your companies move forward .
