Episode Introduction:

POMA's Public Policy Committee (PPC) began as a Task Force a few years ago to review POMA's previous public policies from prior years and make recommendations to bring them current. After completing its work, the task force was changed to full committee status because there was a recognized need for more public policy positions from POMA on emerging issues.
