Fellow Chapter Members,

Warm welcome to the new members, volunteer leaders and greetings to all PMISV Chapter members. 

October is a special month for the Chapter. We have successfully held our Annual Symposium. What an event!!! Excellent Keynote speakers, truly informative sessions and on Day 2 we have successfully pulled off ‘Open Space’ session under the guidance of Ainsley Niles. We received excellent feedback from the first timers as well as repeat participants. I take this opportunity to offer sincere Appreciation to the Symposium Team. 

This month the Board of Directors and few selected volunteer leaders attended the PMI NA LIM. I encourage you to visit pmi.org to get very valuable insights into how the PM role is changing. 

Active Volunteer Leaders : Save the date for Active Volunteer Leaders workshop on SAFe, Saturday Nov 3, 2018. This event will offer 6 PDUs.
