Welcome to
The Nashville Chapter of PMI
President’s Message - Q4 2009
The chapter continues to weather the economy’s downturns with a strong membership. As of October 31st, the chapter stands at 873 members with 534 PMPs, 13 CAPMs and 1 PgMP. Over 774 have joined the LinkedIn group, and the chapter volunteers number 56 for 2009 to date.
Annual board elections were held last month and the results are in. The new board consists of some new faces. Ruby Reyes as VP of Membership, Angie Bates as VP of Local Interest Groups, several returning faces, and one blast from the past, Joanne Bertone as VP of Marketing and Publicity. We will be introducing the incoming 2010 board at the November 17 lunch- eon at the Holiday Inn Select Vanderbilt and position transitions will take place over the next 45 days in preparation for the new year.
The annual scorecard draft was submitted in September to PMI Global who accepted/approved the three-year draft. Overall, the chapter has met its goals and we will submit the final version in late January. Member satisfaction scores are at 82%, or the numerical equivalent of “Very Good”, with over 187 professional development hours offered in 2009. In support of the scorecard initiative, new surveys were rolled out for the LIG events and New Member Break- fasts, and marketing brochures will be distributed at the November luncheon. Within PMI Region 14, our chapter stacked up well com- pared with other chapters. We were one of only 7 (out of 25) to meet the regional goal of scorecard submission before the annual October leadership meeting in Orlando.
One of the board’s goals for 2010 will be to grow the chapter volun- teer team to 100 contributors. We will be emphasizing the “free” PDUs people can earn by spending as little as 1-5 hours per month, the networking opportunities, and the experience gained by partici- pating as a volunteer. The chapter has over 25 approved, director- level positions for 2010 and a major emphasis will be on helping our membership realize the value of volunteering. If you are inter- ested, send an e-mail to volunteer@pminashville.com, fill out an in- terest form, and we’ll get you on the 2010 team. The chapter has been blessed with great volunteers and we can only get stronger.
Sincerely,
Charles Lebo President, PMI Nashville Chapter
