What are Cohorts?
PSC Cohorts are facilitated, collaborative groups of PSC members who connect regularly throughout a calendar year. Each cohort is organized around a specific topic or job function, bringing together individuals with similar skill sets and professional challenges. The goal is to foster collective problem-solving, share best practices, and build a strong network of peers through both structured meetings and ongoing engagement in a private online forum.
