PMI ® Global Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

PMI, as a global organization, has established a position about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This statement is posted on the PMI website:
As a global leader enabling individuals to create a positive impact through projects, PMI champions a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community – one that serves our millions of stakeholders, including staff, volunteers, members, credential holders, and the profession at large. We embrace and celebrate our differences, and work to create an environment of respect, trust, integrity and fairness in our words and actions. We commit ourselves to empower individuals to do their best work. We aspire to act as a catalyst to bridge cultures, geographies, and differences, and to enable people and organizations to positively impact society.

February Board Member Spotlight:

Ingerid Mohn has been a PMI and PMI MN member since August 2020. She works as a Senior Project Manager currently for Marvin, and she is the current Director at Large for our Board of Directors. She is PMP Certified. She has had previous roles as both, Vice Chair and Chair of the Professional Development Committee.


February Volunteer of the Month:

The PMI MN Chapter is honored to present Markus Franz as our February 2023 Volunteer of the Month.

Like most membership organizations, PMI MN was impacted by COVID and had limited activity with its Sponsorship efforts. Since joining PMI MN as a volunteer, Markus Franz has reenergized the Sponsorship Team. He has rebuilt a very engaging team and reconnected with PMI MN Sponsors. After three years of not having in-person Professional Development days, PMI MN held its first PDD in September 2022. The event had a large number of attendees and sponsors. The success of Sponsorship can be attributed to Markus and his ongoing communication with the Sponsors.
 
As PMI MN is in the process of planning another great PDD experience for 2023, the Chapter relies on Markus and Sponsorship Team. Thank you, Markus, for all your contributions to PMI MN Chapter!!!
