The first month of 2017 is now behind us.  We are already in February. 

You’ve received from PMI the 2017 satisfaction survey, a unique opportunity to provide your feedback on your North Carolina Chapter.  This survey measures how well we are serving you and providing value to you.  If for some reasons, you feel you have not fully benefited of your NCPMI membership or NCPMI great offerings, please reach out directly to me (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).  I want to hear from you as this is the best way to move forward and get you ahead of the PMs in your community.  I am looking for 100% participation in the PMI survey.  Please promptly answer the survey with your “very satisfied” score. And, let me know you have done so. Don’t wait to the deadline of February 19.

Our active military and veterans members are part of the NCPMI Strategy with great upcoming Military initiatives.  This email address is being protected from spambots.

The first chapter meeting of the year attracted almost 300 people.  There was a buzz in the room. 

  • Was it because of the topic: “Unleash Your PowerZone-Mind Makeover to Make Your 2017 Goals Stick”? Don’t we all want to make the change we always wanted?
  • Was it because there wasn’t a chapter meeting in December?  So the joy of seeing friends and colleagues?
  • Was it because of the lavish buffet that brought all to the hall?  So you were able while standing in line to speak to those around you?  Networking is an important part of why you come every month.
  • Was it because of the great welcome by your registration desk volunteers that simply set the mood for the evening?

Whatever the reason, the NCPMI Board and all the volunteers were happy to see you to start a new year. 

The first Board meeting was conducted online as the first snow storm of the year kept us home for few days.  It’s exciting to see so much experience on the Board.  I need your help to push them to the limit.  You are interested to observe a board meeting, they are posted on ncpmi.org.  Send me an email to let me know.
