These discussions and the desire to promote and preserve Pilot resulted in the creation of the 2012 Strategic Planning Survey - the catalyst for Pilot’s new “ABC’s” - introduced at the recent 2013 PI Convention in New Orleans. Programming for each aspect of the “ABC’s” is now in full swing, and we hope you will take a moment to read about each and how you can get involved in this issue of the News From PIHQ.
