Mr. and Miss PMA serve as the emcees for NDLS. They are selected by a vote of their peers to lead the group in cheers, keep everyone on task, and help keep the buzz and excitement alive throughout the entire weekend. They are the official ambassadors in charge of promoting a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), the philosophy that having an optimistic disposition in every situation attracts positive changes and increases achievement.
