Message from the President 

Dear Members

It has been a beautiful and crisp fall here in Minnesota. The vibrant colors, our state parks and lakes, the apple orchards and pumpkin patches, all remind us how lucky we are to live amidst nature’s paradise.

I wanted to share a few exciting things with you all.

First, the Annual Chapter Membership Meeting is scheduled for November 21st. I would encourage all the members to attend the meeting (It is FREE), and share their thoughts and ideas with the leadership. Here is a link to register - Annual Membership Business Meeting (pmi-mn.org)

We also have four new board members joining us in 2023. I would like to congratulate and extend a warm welcome to them. I also want to thank the four board members departing us at the end of this year.

If you have been planning on taking a PMP certification exam, now is a good time. We have a new Prep course for PMP starting Oct 26th.

Lastly, I am excited to represent the PMI Minnesota Chapter at the upcoming PMI Global summit in Las Vegas from December 1 - 3rd. We have been selected to speak on the topic of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

If anyone wants to attend, please check out the link below - PMI Global Summit | Project Management Institute (PMI) - Global Summit 2022 (gcs-web.com)

As we move into November, the chapter leaders will be getting together to do the strategic planning for 2023. We will share the results of that with you all in our Annual membership Meeting.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email - president@pmi-mn.org

Thank you and be well!
