My Fellow PMI Central Virginia Chapter Members,

As we close 2019, I wanted to take a moment to highlight our achievements as a chapter.  One of my goals for the year was to attract additional volunteers to help our chapter in reaching its goals. 

• In January, we celebrated our Volunteer Recognition event at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA), honoring 83 volunteers for their efforts in helping and supporting our chapter. The event was phenomenal, and everyone that attended felt very special and expressed interest in hosting the event there again. Suresh Raju was recognized as our 2019 Volunteer of the Year.
• In February, Our Board members attended the Regional Leadership meeting. We held a raffle for a volunteer to attend and were able to have an additional volunteer member participate in this event.
• This year we implemented an ‘Exceptional Volunteer of the Quarter”. Here are the individuals that were recognized this year:
  • Leslie DeBruyn, PMP (1^st quarter)
  • Jennifer Romero-Greene (2^nd quarter)
  • David Maynard (3^rd quarter)
• Our 4^th quarter volunteer will be recognized at our Volunteer Recognition event in January 2020, in addition to our 2020 Volunteer of the Year.

 

"For PMI, our Chapters and Volunteer community remain the ‘secret sauce.' These individuals bring amazing passion to their contributions around the world, and PMI would not exist without our shared mission. Moving forward as a community, we are more committed than ever to providing value to support the careers of millions of professionals who count project management as part of the work they do every day to bring strategies and ideas to life. And when we do this collectively, we have a huge positive impact across the globe."
