Message from the Prez (May 2012)
Your Chapter just held its Volunteer Recognition event at the Botanical Gardens. If you haven’t been there since you were a kid, I suggest you take a drive out – it’s really an incredible place with a rich history. Anyway, we recognized the 96 people who perform 136 jobs for the Chapter.
What struck me were two things. First, 96 people are volunteering to help the Chapter. That’s incredible. That’s about 15% of our membership in a time where most Chapters only have 10% of the membership volunteering. So I should be thankful that so many people are volunteering (and I am!). But the other thing that struck me is that 96 people are filling 136 different roles.
PMI BUFFALO BOARD ELECTIONS
WE NEED YOUR VOTE!!!!!!
Polls close after May 21st, and we need YOUR vote!
Every vote counts, especially yours!
We need all our PMI Buffalo Chapter members to take a moment or two to review both the proposed bylaw changes and the slate of candidates, and cast your vote. Even if there is not more than one candidate, we still need to have your approval for those candidates to serve!
Outside-Expert
The Outside Expert - Michael O'Brochta, PMP
President, Zozer Inc.
Part one of this three-part series examined the project leadership situation, part two examines related project leadership work, and part three will examine high performance project teams.
Part 2. The journey to project management excellence continues beyond earning a Project Management Professional (PMP) to include practicing project leadership. However, even highly skilled PMPs find success limited until they can sift through the bewildering amount of leadership information and identify actions essential for them at this point in their careers.
