Board Message – September 2024
Dear NCPMI Members,
As we step into September, a month symbolizing renewal and growth, we reflect on the incredible energy and accomplishments of the past few months. With the kids returning to school, the pace picking up at work, and the leaves beginning to turn, it’s the perfect time to level up our professional skills and give back to the project management community.
We are thrilled to report that our recent NCPMI Annual Conference was a resounding success! Thanks to your enthusiasm and participation, we doubled our attendance compared to the previous year. It was a powerful reminder of the strength and passion within our community.
For those who attended, keep an eye out for an upcoming email detailing how to claim your PDUs and access the session recordings on demand. This is your chance to revisit the wealth of knowledge shared and continue your professional development journey.
But September is not just about looking back; it’s about moving forward. We invite you to take this momentum and channel it into volunteering with NCPMI. Volunteering is a fantastic way to hone your skills, expand your network, and give back to the profession that has given us all so much. Whether it’s mentoring, joining a committee, or leading a project, your contributions make a difference.
Let’s make this September a month of growth, both personally and professionally. Together, we can continue to elevate our profession and support each other on our journey.
Wishing you a productive and inspiring month ahead!
Warm regards,
Carolyn Evans, PMP
NCPMI President Elect

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.
