President's Message - June 2018

Message from Immediate Past-President – June 2018

NCPMI Board Election

The NCPMI Board of Officers is comprised of nine elected officers: President, President-Elect, Immediate Past President, VP Membership, VP Programs, VP Professional Development, VP Certifications, VP Communications & Technology, and VP Finance, Governance and Policy.

The officers are elected by the NCPMI members for a two-year term, except the President and President-Elect who is in office for one year. The 2018 President-Elect will become the 2019 President and the current President will move to the Immediate Past President role for an additional year on the board.

The VP Membership, VP Professional Development, and VP Communications & Technology are elected in odd years while the VP Finance, VP Programs and VP Certifications are elected in even years.

As the Immediate Past-President, one of my roles is to set the motion for the NCPMI election. The first action is to appoint the members of the Election Nominating Committee as an impartial entity to assist with the election activities. The role of the Nominating Committee is well defined in the election process policy for NCPMI. The committee activities comprise of but not limited to: review candidate submissions, confirm there are no ethic complaints filed against the candidate, interview the candidate, review past involvement with NCPMI in a leadership role and finally the Nominating Committee will develop an approved candidates list for the following 2019- 2020 NCPMI Board of Officers roles: President-Elect, VP Finances, VP Programs and VP Certifications.

Early in August 2018, we will call upon all NCPMI members to vote for the best candidate to join the current elected officers to govern NCPMI Board with the responsible for carrying out the purposes and objectives of the nonprofit corporation.

The election will be conducted by electronic ballot from PMI. It’s my sincere hope that the turnout will be unprecedented with a call for at least twenty-five (25%) percent of NCPMI 3,691 members returning their ballots.

It has been a pleasure for me to serve you as the 2018 Immediate Past-President.

Regards,

Myriam Augustin, Immediate Past-President

Call for Next Generation Project Managers

The NCPMI Board of Directors care very deeply about the health of our organization. To this end, we spend a lot of time talking about the future health and growth of our chapter. During these discussions, we have recognized a need to encourage more of the next generation of project managers to get involved in our chapter. As VP of Membership, I am seeking a panel of our members to help lead these efforts. Ideal candidates would be early in their career, newly graduating, or currently in a project management education program. No experience is necessary; we just need your enthusiasm and willingness to jump right in! This panel will drive new programs that will serve those that are coming into the field of project management.

Angela Weiland, Membership Volunteer

Congratulations to Angela Weiland for being June's volunteer spotlight winner. Angela is nominated by Jessica Johnson, VP of Membership.

Angela has been a volunteer on the membership team since 2017, as a First Impressions Coordinator. You may have been greeted by her at the front of the chapter meeting. She is one of the first faces our new and seasoned members see each month, helpfully guiding the way to the evening's events. She has lead many a new member to our orientation, helping them navigate what can be an overwhelming first time. She was selected as a nominee for this recognition due to her willingness to jump in, and her continued leadership on the team. She was the first person to accept this position, and has remained a reliable volunteer that can be counted on month after month. Thank you Angela for all that you do!
