Introducing Stacey Gay

Hello PBGG! You’ve probably all received an email or phone call from me at some point, but I am delighted to formally introduce myself to the PBGG community as the Administrative Manager.

After coming on board this past summer, it has been my pleasure to meet many of you in person and I hope to see the rest of you at the 2024 PBGG Retreat, if not sooner. It is my goal in this position to make it as easy as possible for the rest of you to get your jobs done! If ever you have a question, please reach out.
