Dear ,
Do you know an exemplary project manager or a dedicated PM doctoral student?
Most of us are familiar with project management professionals and students, and know that they often reach far beyond timely task completion and exceed expectations by overcoming obstacles, making meaningful community contributions, and demonstrating exceptional leadership capabilities. Sound like anyone you know?
We invite you to recognize the hard work of your outstanding project management peers and PM doctoral students by nominating them for our prestigious Kerzner Award or encouraging them to submit proposals for our Doctoral Research Grants, detailed below.
We look forward to receiving your nominations and proposals!
Sincerely,
Your friends at the PMI Educational Foundation
