Pittsburgh group

POCC’s from the Pittsburgh area have approached one of the vendors concerning forming an adjunct relationship with KEYPOCC so that they can learn what it takes to start up their own POCC group. The membership felt that this would be a good idea and asked that the vendor have someone from Pittsburgh contact one of the officers.
