PCPA's Government Relations Institute Class of '01 graduated at the May PCPA Board meeting. The class featured 10 persons from across the state, including eight PCPA member agencies' staff, one NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill) staff member and one agency Board member. PCPA President Julie Weaver noted that the GRI is important not only as a training ground for agency staff but also as a resource for PCPA's public policy efforts.
