Don't Miss Our September 15th Meeting - The Keys to Great Project Management!


Do you avoid special assignments at work?

Are you always depending on someone else to take the lead on projects?

Do you want to learn the critical skills for successful project management?



Come hear our first speaker of the new season and learn all about the elements vital to project management today. Effectively managing projects is essential in every organization, large or small. The uncertainties of the world business economy, rapidly changing technology, and intensifying focus on sustainability has driven many organizations to develop specific methods for managing projects and finding the right talent to manage those projects.  Today’s project managers must adapt to change, lead diverse teams, act as ambassadors for their organizations and deal with a multitude of challenging project stakeholders.



This presentation addresses the importance of the professional project manager and the need for the project manager to continually enhance existing skills, adapt to a changing environment, and become a “go to” person in the organization. Emphasis is placed on understanding the needs of the organization, clearly and visibly creating value and managing personal brand.
