All PCMA Chapters are coming together this fall, leading up to Convening Leaders 2025 in Houston, to celebrate all that PCMA is doing for our communities; to foster engagement with members, to promote collaboration across chapters, to generate fun competition/rivalry, and to support our industry friends. For chapters that are participating, funds raised are being shared with the PCMA Foundation and the chapters.
As an extension of the Chapter Team Challenge, this year we are also adding DMO Teams to compete against The Palm Beaches Team to be the DMO team champions.
