That's the theme put forth by 2019 PMA Chairman Troy Roberts, who pledges to lead PMA's efforts to define its role in the evolving workforce-development landscape, and then help shape the association's array of services and advocacy efforts to support its workforce-development agenda. When PMA launched its online learning-management system, METALFORM EDU, late in 2018, the initiative, one of the largest ever undertaken by the association, immediately became a key resource in addressing a critical and complex issue touching almost every facet of our society. Those sentiments, shared by 2019 PMA Chairman Troy Roberts, will help him and the PMA board of directors provide guidance to the association's leadership and staff as they develop a new strategic plan in early fiscal 2019. The plan will support PMA's defined and desired leadership role in tackling workforce development-related challenges and opportunities faced by membership. Then, the longer-term mission focuses, under the leadership of new PMA president David Klotz (see the accompanying sidebar), on evaluating the products and services PMA provides to its membership and to the industry, such as METALFORM EDU, as well as focus its advocacy efforts at the federal, state and local levels.
