President's Message
We The Chapter
president@pmimassbay.org
by Evans Travis, PMP, President (2007-2008)
As I write this, I am considering where we've been this past year. I am coming up on my last couple of months as your President. I have also been working with the board over the last month or two on possible plans for the upcoming year. There are some exciting things in the works! It is, of course, very early to say anything but I am looking forward to working with Diana Bishop as she takes over, the new officers once the election is over, and the great existing staff on the board.

Part 1 of 2
by Dr. James T. Brown, PMP
The ability to anticipate is by far the greatest project management ability. Anticipation is an ability that is a culmination of knowledge, experience and skill.
