Message from the President

Dear Members,

Autumn in Minnesota has already come to a close. I have hope that we will have a mild and lovely winter season ahead of us. Our region is blessed with an ever-changing environment that promotes growth among the many hard-working people who strive to be successful in their lives and career as the seasons change.

As we are approaching the end of 2018, I would like to remind you that we will be celebrating our 35th anniversary in 2019. Hard work and persistence by our volunteers have helped us offer our best services to our members and communities throughout the years.

I would like to invite you to join us in planning an event to commemorate 35 years of PMI Minnesota.  Please send me your suggestions and recommendations to make this anniversary a memorable one.

Please remember to recommend our chapter to your friends and colleagues. We strive to keep our community professional and prosperous.  We want to welcome an abundance of diverse knowledge and creative ideas to help each one of us to be successful both personally and professionally.

I wish you a happy season of celebrations.

Best regards,


- Mohamed F. Diab  MBA, Ph.D., A.M.ASCE
PMI-Minnesota Chapter President & CEO
