Breakfast Meeting
We kick off the month with our much-anticipated Breakfast Meeting, scheduled for August 12th, at Maritz Corporation. This gathering is an excellent opportunity for members to connect in a relaxed setting while enjoying a hearty breakfast. Our guest speaker, Drew Rapplean, an esteemed Product Manager, will share insights on "Requirements - The art of extracting them the first time!". We will also host our Chapter’s PMI Chapter Engagement Partner, Melissa Bennett! This is a perfect chance to engage in meaningful discussions with fellow members and PMI Staff.
Chapter Dinner
On August 27th, we will host our Chapter Dinner, a highlight of our monthly calendar. This event will feature two distinguished speakers, Tanya Roberts, MBA, PfMP and Kristin Kinscherff, PMP; who will help us: “Overcoming Prioritization’s Toughest Challenge: Human Nature”. Their expertise and experience will undoubtedly provide you with new perspectives and ideas to implement in your projects. The dinner also serves as a wonderful occasion to network with peers and build lasting professional relationships.
Scholarship Winners
We are proud to announce the winners of this year's PMIMSL Chapter Scholarships. These three individuals have demonstrated exceptional dedication and potential in the field of project management. Their achievements are a testament to the talent and commitment present within our community. We will be honoring them at the Chapter Dinner, where they will have the opportunity to share their experiences and aspirations with us.
