Member Orientation Session
Did you hear about the Orientation
Class, sponsored by the Membership
Committee, that was held on September 15th? Were you there?
If not attend you missed an excellent opportunity to find out what
PMIWDC can do for you, along with some great networking opportunities.
The biggest part of the disccussion
was on the hundreds of educational and networking opportunities
available to members. Linda Cantey, the Chapter President, presented
the future of PMIWDC. Other board members, 64 other board members and
volunteer leaders spoke at the sesssion, offering valuable information
about the organization, networking and opportunities for earning PDUs
and information on volunteering.
Overall, the pilot Orientation Class
was a huge hit and will most likely be held again in the first quarter
of 2010.
Keep an eye out for updates on www.pmiwdc.org/orientation
and consider coming to the next class. Let us "put the pieces together"
for you. It's a guarantee that you will walk away with some
small bit of information that will advance your membership and maybe
your career.
October Tyson's Corner Dinner
Speaking of information, did you
attend the October
Tyson's Corner dinner meeting?
You missed an excellent opportunity if
you did not. There was a great presentation about the future of EVM,
given by Wayne Abba, a valued participant in EVM material for the
PMBOK, Version 4.
PMIWDC members who missed the dinner
can still see the presentation and earn PDUs through our eView portal.
Check it out at www.pmiwdc.org/eview
There were 9 employers who announced
PM job openings from the podium, and dozens more working the crowd
during the networking session.
If you had dined at a New Member
table, you would have met 23 other new members. Each was met at the
Meet and Greet area and given valuable
information about what to expect from the evening. At dinner each new
member attendee was given a chance to introduce themselves to other
attendees, Chapter leadership and the New Member Committee volunteers.
Upcoming Dinners
Sound interesting? You should attend
the new Crystal
City Dinner on November 4th, or the next Tyson's Corner
Dinner on November
17 and find out how your membership can work for you.
We would be more than happy to host
you and make you feel at home. Remember, even though the PMIWDC is the
largest local PM network in the world, there are no strangers at
dinner. Come see for yourself!
