Board Message - December 2025
A December Message from the President
Dear Members, Volunteers, and Sponsors,
As we approach the final days of 2025, I wish to take a moment to reflect on what has been an extraordinary year for NCPMI. This year marked a particularly special milestone for our chapter: our 40th Anniversary. From our humble beginnings in 1985 to becoming one of PMI's most vibrant and engaged chapters, we owe this incredible journey to the unwavering dedication of our board, members, volunteers, and sponsors.
At the heart of our success is the spirit of collaboration and the power of community. To our board members, your innovative ideas, strategic insights, and tireless efforts have guided us through another year of growth and accomplishments. Your leadership continues to inspire us as we work together to strengthen our chapter and drive its vision forward.
To our volunteers, you are the pulse of NCPMI. Your generosity, talent, and passion keep this chapter thriving. Through your countless hours of hard work in organizing events, supporting our initiatives, and engaging with our members, you have enabled us to deliver meaningful programs and to foster growth within our vibrant community.
To our sponsors and partners, thank you for your trust and investment in the mission of NCPMI. Your support has provided the resources needed to propel our initiatives and shape the professional development of our members. Together, we have created opportunities for learning, networking, and innovation that are vital to the continued growth of project management as a discipline.
As we look ahead to 2026, the horizon is bright. This new year brings with it immense opportunities for us to expand our chapter’s reach, enhance membership experiences, and continue addressing evolving member needs. We are committed to fostering an environment of inclusive growth, where project management professionals at all stages of their careers can learn, contribute, and thrive.
Our calendar of events and programs for 2026 is already shaping up to be stronger than ever, with a lineup that promises to inspire, educate, and connect every member of our NCPMI family. Together, we will build on the legacy of the past four decades and look forward to a future filled with continued success.
Thank you for being an integral part of this incredible journey. Together, we have achieved much, and together, we will achieve even more.
With gratitude and best wishes for a prosperous and fulfilling new year,
Warm regards,
Carolyn Evans
President, NCPMI

Grow Your Skills
It is particularly important for Project Managers to maintain and improve their project management knowledge and skills to stay competitive in the market. PMP certification is a critical component. As, during the resent years, project management discipline took a step toward more flexible and dynamic project management methodologies, in addition to the traditional waterfall approach, several new emerging methodologies became in high demand. Thus, training and credentialing in these methodologies became highly sough after among Project Management professionals. It is especially relevant in today's economic climate.
