Dr . Peter Korch PDA Speaker of the House 2010-2014
As Speaker of the House of Delegates , the first time I called the House to order will be something I will never forget . On the flip side of that , I will also never forget that I was the one who adjourned it for the last time . It is often said that real business happens outside of meeting rooms , and for PDA , that was my experience . Some of the Board of Trustees dinners were unforgettable , both in content and camaraderie .
