President's Message - February 2021
Greetings,
Technology and Communications is one of the key functional areas of NCPMI to improve communication and collaboration with our members as well as technology to support operations of the board.
I would like to thank my entire IT team for working tirelessly to support all technology and communication needs for board meetings, monthly chapter meetings, Communities of Practice (“Cop”) and special events.
Technology and software industry is rapidly changing, and even large enterprises with heavy investments in Information Technology find challenges in meeting the customer needs.
At NCPMI, we looked at technology needs at a strategic level and prioritized the investments to provide value for your membership and to support board operations to serve you better.
In 2021, we plan to be focusing on adoption and maturity on the new technologies:
- Revamping the NCPMI webpage on a more secured platform
- Capability to host Meetings in Hybrid mode.
- Implement IT Security in compliance with PMI guidelines.
- Digital Transformation initiative.
We always need additional help in the technology and communications areas. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to me at vp_information@ncpmi.org or our Volunteers team at volunteers@ncpmi.org.
Sincerely,
Manosh Majumdar
Vice President – Technology and Communications

About the speaker:
Growing up in a small Mississippi town taught Dea Irby about belonging. She and her husband since 1974 have lived in 15 homes in 5 Southern states, raising 8 children. She published “A Dollop and a Pinch: Recipes and Stories of Baron York” after her 7 years of being an owner/operator restaurateur. The one consistent thread throughout all her adventures has been building real community - in the home, in business, and in teams. Dea discovered that in all of life, a real community is vital. It’s not just about being connected, it’s about being claimed.

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.
