Greetings!
We just returned from PMI's Leadership Institute Meeting and the PMI® Global Congress in Dallas, Texas, USA. Each year, the interest in the work we do continues to grow.
We met with donors and many PMI chapters who support our work, we conducted three presentations, and spoke with hundreds of individuals at our booth - many were inspired to bring project management into their communities for social good. We can now say with confidence that PMIEF is no longer the best kept secret! But we still have lots of outreach to do, so this year we are participating in International Project Management Day.
Below we've highlighted a few activities in Dallas as well as our upcoming participation in the IPM Day virtual conference sponsored by IIL and free to all participants.
Sincerely,
Your friends at the PMI Educational Foundation

PMIEF will have a booth at the free virtual event Power of the Profession, sponsored by the International Institute for Learning, Inc., for International Project Management Day. This event will take place on 3 November 2011.
The PMIEF booth will be located in the virtual exhibit hall and will include materials and resources that will show you how you can make a difference in your community using project management. There will also be PMIEF staff at the booth, and you can contact them and ask them questions via the chat platform (booth staffing hours to be determined).
For more information and to register, please go to the event's website. |
