PCS Administration
The PCS Management Team Approach
PCS is managed by a team of experienced dedicated people who believe in the approach of the sum being greater than the total of individual skills and personalities. The Management Team functions as a board of directors and makes all strategic decisions of the Company. While its CEO provides strong leadership, the PCS culture is one of teamwork. Strategic decisions are made with careful analysis and with contributions made by each Management Team member bringing their individual skill sets into the information gathering and decision making process. PCS has been successful over many years with this approach. The Management team is made up of the following staff members.
