WASHINGTON, DC, NOVEMBER 8, 2001 - Plexus Consulting Group today helped The Center for Association Leadership launch its "Innovation and Excellence Project," a key content engine of the extensive knowledge resources offered by The Center. The Center is new global learning organization located at the Marriott Learning Complex in the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC.
