MINNEAPOLIS – Mar. 30, 2020 – The Project Management Institute of Minnesota (PMI MN), the 14th largest of 309 chapters of the Project Management Institute, has introduced a new logo and rebrand. The new logo reflects the chapter’s transformation into navigating change that is inherent to project management professionals’ growth and ongoing adaptability.
“The purple Minnesota icon inlaid with a Loon, our state’s bird, expresses our distinctiveness as a chapter while the new colors symbolize collaboration and determination. Although collectively we share the PMI mission, we will continue to have our own chapter individuality,” said PMI MN President Sara Swanson, PMP®, PMI-ACP®, CSM®. “The transformation in our chapter will continue to thrive in 2020 and beyond by partnering with PMI Global and collaborating with our members and volunteers. Together, we carry our community to prosperity and continued innovation,” Swanson added.
PMI Global and PMI MN have developed a way in which organizations and people are centered around a portfolio of projects to deliver outcomes, designated as “The Project Economy.” It is where people have the skills and capabilities they need to turn ideas into reality and where organizations deliver value to stakeholders through successful completion of projects, delivery of products, and alignment to value streams. The rebrand consists of nine symbols, each representing a quality of The Project Economy: collaboration, determination, change, innovation, teamwork, outcomes, growth, vision, and community.
As I previously communicated, with the restrictions on in-person meetings due to COVD-19, the Board had to make the decision to postpone our annual business meeting that had been scheduled for March 23rd.
This meeting is the Board’s opportunity to connect with fellow members, and provide an overview of our accomplishments and lessons learned from the past year. During this meeting the membership also hears about the budget outcome from the previous year, and learns about the current year’s budget and goals of the Chapter. This meeting is an opportunity for you, as a member, to share ideas, ask questions and learn about the state of the Chapter. For this reason, the PMI Board of Directors believe the meeting is most beneficial to both the Board and members as an in-person meeting.
We look forward to rescheduling this important meeting once we are able to meet again in-person. We have a lot of accomplishments from the past year we would like to share, and several exciting plans for the upcoming year. Look for our April newsletter where we will provide a sneak peek of what 2019 looked like for the Chapter, and what we envision for 2020.
Please contact me directly with any questions or concerns. We are grateful for the ongoing support of our members and appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,
Sara Swanson, PMP®, PMI-ACP®, CSM®
PMI-MN President, CEO
