PMI Mass Bay Chapter e-Newsletter

Welcome to a new and exciting year for the PMI Mass Bay Chapter. We are excited about the programs we have for you this year. There are several opportunities for chapter members to participate in our continued growth. The chapter relies on its volunteers to make our programs happen. Chapter volunteers develop and organize our programs, such as the monthly meetings, education programs, the Newsletter and Career Development Day, just to name a few. I encourage you to consider serving on the Board or becoming a key volunteer leading or contributing to a project team. During the summer months, a Board of Directors work group and the Chapter’s Officers have been working to evaluate our chapter level activities and events we do today (i.e. Training Classes, Student Outreach, etc.) against our vision statement.
