Board Message – October 2024
Dear NCPMI Members,
Now is the time to reinvest in your career!
Re-ignite your career by expanding/sharpening your toolset knowledge. The technology we use and the way we work is evolving again with the broader availability and accessibility of Generative AI (GenAI). Take time to investigate, learn and understand how you can harvest to benefits of Large Language Models. Keep in mind that it still takes your human skills (e.g. prompt engineering) to harness the most benefit of the technology for your exact situation/context. NCPMI continues to be committed to offer you learning opportunities in this space as we saw at our recent Annual Conference and our upcoming October Chapter Meeting. GenAI e-learning modules are also available on the PMI website.
Re-engage by networking with other project managers in our area during our monthly meetings and other events. NCPMI offers several networking options to accommodate the breadth and depth of our membership base - Chapter Meetings, Communities of Practice Sessions, NextGen and Veterans Outreach just to name a few. Networking offers you the unique opportunity to share challenges (and solutions) by simply getting another point of view with a similar mindset.
Re-engage by volunteering to support our chapter. It takes “a village” of committed individuals to produce and execute the programming you see each month. Volunteer opportunities are announced regularly in advance of our events and always can be found on NCPMI.org and our mobile app. Every volunteer learns quickly that they often get more in reward for their time spent.
I truly appreciate the volunteer efforts of those on the NCPMI Board, in the Programming and Support verticals, and most of all, the Finance Team that have kept things going behind the scenes in support of you. They are also my reminders to continue to re-ignite and re-engage.
Warm Regards,
Thad Belfanti, PMP

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.
