SEE WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING ABOUT US
"I want to take this time to express my profound gratitude to you. When I was the most overwhelmed and vulnerable (stressed to the max about my professional survival and providing for my family) you were there with kindness and guidance. You kept me sane and grounded when I felt lost and attacked. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all of your support during such a challenging time."
Leah
“I want to thank PENC for your support and for helping me feel that everything will work out. Your calm advice and reassurance helped me to weather my storm. In my humble opinion, as my students would say, you ROCK! Thank you more than I can express with my rather advanced vocabulary.”
Linda
“You were very instrumental in the outcome of my issue at school. I followed all of your advice. My principal sent a letter to the parent who threatened me and since then I have received a call from the mother with an apology. The dues I pay PENC are worth every penny knowing I have some support.”
