PDCA PDCA WEBINAR SERIES Don’t miss these two webinar series from PDCA
Amidst the coronavirus pandemic that brought event
cancellations and work-from-home requirements,
PDCA pivoted its education strategy to provide
members and other industry personnel with engaging, informative
webinars. The association launched two separate webinar series:
The PDCA Annual Conference Webinar Series and the PDCA 2020
Virtual DICEP series.

Series on Aug. 5, 2020. The event was a success, with nearly 30
attendees and great participation between the presenters and
attendees. Rick Kalson provided a pragmatic discussion of recent
legislation and judicial opinions concerning workplace regulations
and medical marijuana use. This was followed by Dr. Brad Allenby’s
interactive discussion on difficult and ambiguous ethical situations
that individuals and businesses face in the real world, along
with suggested mechanisms that could provide help in maintaining
high standards in a competitive and difficult market.
