Board Message - February 2025
Dear NCPMI Members,
As our President, Carolyn Evans, mentioned in her 2025 welcoming message last month, NCPMI has an exciting year ahead with our 40th anniversary. We have a variety of activities and opportunities planned that focus on community, empowerment, personal growth, networking, and enjoyment. Looking forward to the next 10 years, it’s inspiring to see how PMI and our Chapter plan to empower you with tools, guidance and engagement. The emphasis on volunteerism and community involvement is particularly commendable.
Through initiatives like Next Gen, Communities of Practice, Monthly Chapter Meetings, and our Annual Conference, NCPMI offers you numerous opportunities to volunteer, grow, sharpen your career, and expand your network. Our growth to over 4,000 members is a testament to our collaboration and involvement. A dedicated group of volunteers, including your elected NCPMI Board, is always present to support you, and we are continually seeking more volunteers to help with chapter activities. Even if you are far away, you can still contribute as an NCPMI member.
As VP Finance, I want to express my appreciation for the Finance team’s hard work. Their dedication to ensuring financial compliance and supporting the chapter’s activities is crucial. Consider joining the Finance team; it is a great way to strengthen the chapter further.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement.
Best regards,
Lionel Dorismond, EE, MBA, PMP, PMI-ACP
VP Finance, 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.
