Have you ever thought about what is really involved in being a KCPMI Mid-America Chapter Officer?
Join former and current board members for the “Leadership Q&A” seminars on what it’s like to be a member of the Kansas City Mid-America Chapter of Project Management Institute’s leadership team.
We are offering four easy to attend seminars that you can take from the comfort of your home!
Each session will focus on the roles and responsibilities of an office. The sessions are designed to be interactive – allowing you time to ask questions on the “life of a chapter board member”.
For your trouble, we will award you with a PDU! So what do you have to lose?
