Resources
PCPA offers a number of professional development opportunities to staff of our member companies.
Learning Resources Newsletter
Includes links to recent articles, infographics, webinars, podcasts, books, and more related to topics on a wide range of subjects from trends in publishing, economic trends, marketing, production and manufacturing, digital delivery of content, trends in religion, and more.
Offered for free to members every month except April, when we host our annual conference. These one-hour virtual events invite PCPA members to hear from experts on a wide variety of topics that can help you in your work. Sometimes the speakers come from among our Adjunct Member companies, sometimes from our Publishing Member companies and sometimes from outside experts. Learn more here.
Third Thursday webinars are generally recorded and may be seen on the PCPA Vimeo channel.
