After achieving this milestone, I wanted to connect with like-minded professionals and continue enhancing my project management knowledge to maintain my certification. Additionally, as I was new to town, I was eager to build a network that could support my professional growth and success. In May 2023, I attended one of the community sessions at PMI Mass Bay and felt an immediate sense of belonging. I reached out to the organizers to express my interest in volunteering and was warmly welcomed. Since then, I\u2019ve had the privilege of contributing to the chapter and growing alongside an inspiring community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Rewards of Volunteering:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Volunteering has been incredibly rewarding. I\u2019ve had the chance to contribute meaningfully, like redesigning the chapter\u2019s website\u2014something I\u2019m truly proud of. Beyond that, I\u2019ve built great friendships and had the privilege of working closely with board members, learning firsthand how they plan activities and keep the chapter thriving. It\u2019s been a fun and fulfilling experience all around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting to Know Damola:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a huge soccer fan, and honestly, Manchester United FC consumes all of my time. I watch matches live every week, then in the evening I watch the recaps\/ highlights, and then later I dive into all the scour through the news for more information about the club. It\u2019s my go-to way to relax and stay excited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet our Damola (Damy) Adediran Volunteer Spotlight for March!
