Board Message - August 2025
Dear NCPMI Members,
Just as rivers enrich the ocean with nutrients and diversity, our Communities of Practice (CoPs) enrich the NCPMI Chapter with specialized knowledge, innovation, and vibrant community engagement.
Each CoP is a stream of passion and expertise—whether focused on Agile, Leadership, Higher Education, Public Speaking, Certifications or Careers. These communities offer:
- Focused learning and skill-building
- Networking with peers who share your interests
- Opportunities to lead, contribute, and grow
- Insights into emerging trends and best practices
We invite you to engage, step up and bring your ideas for new CoPs! Check Events calendar for upcoming CoP Events. If you see a gap or have a vision for a new community, we want to hear from you. Your initiative could be the next vital stream that strengthens our Chapter.

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.
