From the Editor
Volunteers for PVF Roundtable have been hard at work planning
one-of-a-kind networking events and meetings to prepare for a big
year of fundraising for scholarship donations. Not only do we want
members to meet new connections for sales and operations growth
through PVF Roundtable opportunities, but we want you involved in
EVERYTHING scholarships – reducing the financial burden on future
graduates who will be joining the PVF industry. Read about where
these donations go on page 46, and learn what statistics each
school has discovered regarding recent grads.
