Thank you, Brian Heck, for all you've done for PDCA during your presidency. Your support has been constant, your dedication apparent, and your passion unmatched. "While my service as president is ending, I will be spending next year as past president," writes Brian in his President's Message in Issue 6 of #PileDriverMagazine. "But it will not end there. I will continue to volunteer my time to PDCA in other ways. I have sincerely got more back than I have put in over these six years that I’ve been involved... "PDCA celebrates 30 years as an organization next year... It takes all of us – if you’ve been on the sidelines, why not make our 30th anniversary year the one you get more involved? We could use your help in 2025 and beyond. Whether you see yourself taking a more active role in a PDCA chapter, joining a committee or participating in PDCA events, there’s always a spot for you where you can have impact." Brian Heck – THANK YOU. #PDCADriven #piledriving | Goettle
