Kris Ericson, PCPA’s Technical & Conference Services Coordinator, has agreed to assume responsibilities for children’s services at the Association at the request of Executive Director George Kimes following the departure of Stan Mrozowski to the Department of Public Welfare. Ericson spent four years as a Children’s Policy Specialist with PCPA before assuming new responsibilities in 2001. She will serve as the “point person” for children’s services issues at PCPA until a Children’s Policy Specialist is hired in the late fall. Issues, questions, and concerns related to all children’s services can be directed to Ms. Ericson via email (kris@paproviders.org) or telephone (717-657-7078). She will work in concert with PCPA Policy Specialists to assure that questions are answered and issues explored that impact the PCPA membership.
