PMI 50th Anniversary Celebration of Global service

As a part of PMI’s 50th Anniversary, PMI wanted to do something big this year to celebrate volunteer service around the world.  They decided to support the United Nations’ mission to align strategies and operations with “universal principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption, and take actions that advance societal goals”.  PMI encouraged all chapters around the world to pledge a total of 50,000 volunteer service hours this year. The initiative was such a success that PMI increased the number of pledged hours  to 100,000 hours earlier this year.

PMI Military Outreach Coins

In PMI’s effort to reach out to and recruit military veterans into its ranks, PMI created a coin that can be ordered and used by chapters, such as the Fort Worth PMI chapter.   Giving a veteran and PMI members a Military Outreach coin is a distinct honor and it stems from a tradition of Military Commanders giving challenge coins to service members as a “mark of camaraderie”.

One Song, One Dance, One Team
 

I was very excited to attend the LIM Oct 2-Oct 5, 2019 in Philadelphia. This was my first LIM; first time visit to Philadelphia and PMI’s 50^th Anniversary. I had booked a very early flight so had to be at the airport at 4:00 am on 10/2 to make in time for the Region 6 meeting that afternoon. When I arrived, I ubered to the Pennsylvania Convention Center to register and have lunch. Right away I met my PM’s and several Mentors at my lunch table, very enlightened by the powerful conversations and engagement.

Volunteers are our life blood...

PMI is, was, and always will be about volunteers.  Founded in 1969 by five volunteers who sought to standardize and promote the project management profession, PMI’s volunteer force, greater than 10,000 strong, is larger than many other professional membership associations.  Volunteerism is so important to PMI that it is a Core Value of the organization.  When you volunteer, you not only enrich your membership experience and earn PDUs, you expand your professional network, improve your knowledge, and hone your leadership skills.

Volunteerism is also a strategic goal for the Fort Worth Chapter.  The goal intends to strengthen the execution of the existing volunteer model to provide mutual benefit to both members and the chapter.
