Board Message - November 2024
Dear NCPMI Members,
It's hard to believe that the calendar has turned to November.
As we enter November, a month known for reflection, gratitude, and change, it’s the perfect time to reignite your passion for the project management profession. Just as the fall season brings transformation, we too can embrace growth and opportunity in our careers. Let’s remember the incredible impact we have as project managers, guiding projects that shape the future.
Re-engage with your peers and the profession this month. November is not only a time for giving thanks but also for giving back. Consider how your skills, experience, and knowledge can make a difference within our chapter and the broader project management community. Volunteering is a rewarding way to give back to the profession and connect with fellow members. Whether through mentoring, organizing events, or supporting initiatives, your contribution can help fuel the success of others and yourself.
Re-energize by taking time to reflect on your journey as a project manager. Use this month to set new goals, learn something new, and find fresh inspiration. Together, as members of NCPMI, let’s continue to lead with excellence, embracing the profession that brings us together. Let November be the month where you reignite, re-engage, and re-energize your path forward!
As I approach the end of year 1 on my first term, I need to share it has been a privilege and honor to serve with the passionate and dedicated volunteers on my team, the Communications and Technology Team as well as working with and for the different NCPMI verticals as I am surrounded by some great, inspiring and dynamic individuals.
The Board invites all members to join us for the NCPMI Annual Meeting, which will be held as part of the November Chapter Meeting on November 21, 2024. Please sign up and be part of the event! - https://ncpmi.org/events/monthly-chapter-meeting.

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.
