We wish you a safe and happy Holiday Season. Hope you are able to take a break, relax and get ready for another great year.

 

We don't meet in the month of December but will be back fully rejuvenated in January. We are now also partnered with EMU to offer a PMP Preparation and MSProject Class in the winter term.  This is an approved class under the 'No Workers Left Behind' Program - so if you know somebody between jobs, please let them know that they could qualify to get government funding for this class.

 

 

Following are the  board members for the current year :
 
President – Nic Jain
VP of Programs - Ed Pelic
VP of Finance - Lamont Manley

VP of Membership - Bill Mahoney 
VP of Communications - Jeff Buckthorpe 
VP of Administration - Kevin O'Brien
VP of Training - Lanka van Dort

The board is always looking for new ways to provide as much value to the membership as possible, through interesting chapter meetings, affordable PDU opportunities and the general interactive nature of our chapter. If you have any suggestions on how we could improve our value to you, the members, please contact me, or any of the board members for that matter.

Don’t forget, there are plenty of opportunities to earn inexpensive PDUs, all it requires is a little time on your part. See any of the VPs about being on committees or helping with some of the extracurricular activities to earn those valuable PDUs. Also, if you are a Project Manager by trade, you can declare up to 15 PDU’s per cycle (5 per year) for professional experience.

The future PMI envisions: Worldwide, organizations will embrace, value, and utilize project management and attribute their success to it.

 

This presentation describes how that vision, through a Balanced Scorecard evaluation, informs all of PMI's programs, products, and services. It includes the planning process for the near term, midterm, and long term horizons, to keep PMI prepared for a variety of eventualities.
