2018 VENUE SOURCE SELECTION
Our Chapter events provide our members with peer networking, professional development, and Professional Development Units (PDU) opportunities throughout the year. Planning and executing these monthly events is a major volunteer team effort across the multiple Operations committees in the Chapter. Our Chapter members and non-members alike provided valuable feedback in 2017 regarding our event venues, event pricing, and speaker selection. Feedback indicated that our choice of venues was a significant factor for why our chapter members do not attend events regularly, more frequently, or even at all. In response to this feedback, the Programs Team initiated a project to reevaluate our venues for 2018 and beyond. The dedicated volunteers of the Programs Team are delighted to share the methodology and results of our 2018 Venue Source Selection...

☼☼☼ SPRING FORWARD ☼☼☼
Can you believe it’s already January and Spring is just around the corner? But I’ll be the first to admit, it’s hard to think about Spring when we’re focused on bundling up while adding layers upon layers of clothes on in hopes of staying warm during this wickedly cold winter. Though Spring is not in the air at this very moment, before you know it the snow will melt, the weather will warm, the birds will be singing, flowers will begin to blossom, and we will have more sunshine to fill our days providing us the much needed vitamin D we lack in the winter! With Spring comes new life, new attitudes, and we are rejuvenated by new opportunities all around us. It’s the perfect time of year to #springforward in your career by planting new seeds in your professional garden, and attending the PMI MN annual career fair. The career fair is dedicated to providing services and resources to assist PMI MN Chapter members and non-members with improving their career experiences, skills and job opportunities. Take a proactive role in your career success and advancement!. Join us this year on April 16th, 2018 from 8-4pm to #springforward and open doors you didn’t even know existed. Whether you’re a job seeker or content in your current position, this is the right time to revisit what you know, enhance a skill, expand your network and learn something new that will help your career blossom.
NOVEMBER - VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH: CECELIA CARTIER
 The PMI-MN Chapter is honored to present Cecelia Cartier as our November 2017 Volunteer of the Month. Cecelia has been managing the Seminars team for over a year now. She has used her strong leadership skills to ensure greater attendance in all our events, and making sure nothing is missed out in planning them. When there was a sudden emergency which lead to cancellation of the Seminar, she handled the whole thing very professionally. She personally reached out to all attendees by both email and phone calls and made sure we follow up with them on rescheduling.
PMI-MN would like to thank Cecelia for her time and dedication.
Congratulations Cecelia!!!
DECEMBER - VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH: TALEYA HAMILTON
 The PMI-MN Chapter is honored to present Taleya Hamilton as our December 2017 Volunteer of the Month. Taleya is a wonderful volunteer! Her contributions to the 2017 Ana Alvarez-Holmberg scholarship were instrumental to our success. She took charge of communicating to students about the scholarship and found great ways of expanding the awareness of our scholarship. She shows great thought leadership and we were very grateful to leverage her deep knowledge about scholarships. She participated in the process of interviewing our candidates and was part of the process of determining a winner.
Taleya also volunteered for Programs by taking over PDU reporting for breakfast and dinner meetings. This process includes entry of same into the Global system, along with entry of the PrCs into the Global system for attendees to self-report. She is a quick learner and was on her own within two months after training. However this role might change in the future, Taleya is certainly someone the chapter can count on to step up and take on the challenge. We very much appreciate Taleya’s attention to detail with this responsibility.
PMI-MN would like to thank Taleya for her time and dedication.
Congratulations Taleya!!!
