Board Message - February 2026
Dear NCPMI Members, Sponsors, and Volunteers,
As NCPMI members, we are part of something extraordinary—the 25th largest PMI Chapter in the world and 9th largest in the U.S. That speaks volumes about the strength and passion of our community! February is a month of significance: it’s a time of renewal, reflection, and celebration. From honoring leadership during Black History Month to embracing the spirit of connection on Valentine’s Day, February reminds us of the power of relationships and shared purpose.
Project management is more than a profession—it’s a calling to create meaningful change. This month let’s commit to growth by sharpening our skills, collaboration by engaging with peers, and impact by driving success in every project we touch.
Looking for ways to make a difference? Consider volunteering with NCPMI. Giving back to the profession not only strengthens our chapter but also amplifies your own leadership journey.
And don’t miss out on upcoming NCPMI events—each one is an opportunity to learn, network, and inspire.
Together, we can transform challenges into achievements and ideas into reality. Let’s make February a month of progress, purpose, and pride in our profession!
Warm regards,
NCPMI VP Technology
Drew Hollander

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.
