We are pleased to announce the second
annual PACA Community Coaching Connection awardees. Every
year around the holidays, the PACA Executive Board identifies
one or more worthy nonprofit organizations to which we
make a contribution. Starting in 2006, this contribution
has been the award of in-kind services of pro-bono coaching.

PACA members Robert Isaacson (Vice President, Corporate
Affairs) who initiated the program, and Jim Marley (Vice
President, Marketing).
The awards were formally made to representatives
from each organization at PACA's Holiday Party.
A
drum roll please!

Village. This is a child welfare agency affiliated

person soon to be hired. Darlene Hewitt,
Vice President of Programs, accepted the award on behalf
of PCV.
• Great Valley Community
Partnership for Healthy Youth. Affiliated with
the Upper Main Line YMCA, PHY mobilizes various communities
to reduce the risky behaviors of young people. Coaching
