"Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty."

Are You A Project Manager Or A Project Witness
Wednesday, June 24
|
|
The Project Manager/Witness class scheduled in Dublin on June 25th has been cancelled. Instead, the Solano & Napa Counties Electrical Contractors Trust will hold one class in Napa on June 24th.
There is still room and time to register. Don't miss the opportunity to get your managers trained in every step of the management process vs. taking on the role of a project witness. Project Managers are a critical component for every contractor, and providing them with the foundation of management expertise will equip them to direct the entire project life cycle. Questions? Contact Juanita Mitchell at the Chapter office. |
