organization dedicated to promotinc, revitalization of America's inner

  I am proud to join my constituents in thanking and praising Roger

dedication to the community through his involvement in nonprofit 
organizations makes him a worthy recipient of the Spirit of Achievement 
Award. Roger Haughton and PMI are pillars of the Bay Area community;
