President's message - Aug 2022

Greetings,

As summer winds down, our chapter looks towards planning for our elections.

An election committee has been formed to solicit candidates to run for office, vet those candidates, and work with PMI to create our ballot.

I would like to encourage anyone who is qualified to consider running for a VP position. Personally, I have grown tremendously in my professional life because of my time on the board. This carries through to my day job, helping me to be a better leader.

As a reminder, the board rewrote the chapter bylaws, with one of the changes to make running for a VP position more accessible. To qualify, you have to be a volunteer in good standing for at least a year, along with other requirements. Prior to last year, you had to be in a director position to run.

If you have ever had any thought of running, but just aren't quite sure, please reach out so I can speak with you. This year's positions are VP of certification, finance, and programs. Each of these are rewarding in their own unique way. 

Thank you all for allowing us to have a robust chapter. Please take the time to vote when you see the ballot come out.

Finally, Our Chapter looks forward to seeing you at our annual conference on Friday, August 26. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn and gain PDUs from fellow practitioners.

Communications and Public Speaking: Creating a Culture with Dignity and Respect

08-23-2022 5:45 pm -8:00 pm

Virtual Meeting

Free

Abstract:

We usually define ‘civil’ as meaning polite and courteous. It’s related to ‘civilization’ and recalls the way we interact with each other within the guidelines of societal rules and implied codes of conduct. We need civility in our civilization to organize ourselves and keep things running smoothly. Without it, we invite conflict into our affairs. 

The same goes for businesses and other organizations that bring together people for meaningful interaction. In these circumstances, everyone must be civil or else the group’s ability to do their work properly will be in jeopardy. In the workplace, teams and groups will usually have their own official and unspoken rules of civility. 

Not being civil means demonstrating a rude or impolite attitude or behavior towards others with the effect of making them uncomfortable.

This could include behaviors such as:

• Insulting or demeaning comments
• Jokes made at someone’s expense
• Loud, distracting, or inappropriate conversation 
• Being discourteous or impolite towards someone

As project managers, how can you set the standard of civility for your team?
