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.  If you are interested, please reach out to me, Jessica Johnson at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Leah Ketring, Lead Membership Outreach Coordinator 

Susheela Chandrasekaran nominated Leah Ketring for her work as Lead Membership Outreach Coordinator.

Leah has taken on a leadership role in the Member Outreach program, a relatively new program to NCPMI.  Her dedication and perseverance through the year has enabled us to get the ‘voice of the customer’ to the Board.  Leah’s leadership has enabled the team to document lessons learned and refine the program for 2019.

Leah has worked for IBM for 30 years, currently as a Program Manager for the native language websites of IBM Developer: Korean, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese.  She earned her PMP in September 2017 and is currently studying to sit for the Agile Certification later this year.

Leah is an avid cyclist, completing several week-long bike tours for charity and fun as well as having traveled extensively through Asia and Europe for Business and Pleasure.  She has two children, a rescue pup and a granddaughter whom reside in the Raleigh area.  In her spare time, she is learning to knit and as a reward for leveling up (having a fantastic birthday) she is visiting the Grand Canyon / Colorado River on an upcoming adventure.
