We recently hosted the much-anticipated Community Skill Builders Workshop during our June online meeting. This event was a culmination of six months of listening to your feedback and crafting solutions to better support your PMI journey. Here’s a look back at what happened and the exciting developments that emerged from our collaborative efforts.
A Gathering of Minds
We were thrilled to see a diverse group of attendees, including local certified PMI trainers and both new and experienced members eager to contribute their perspectives. The workshop was structured into three dynamic discussion sessions, each led by our dedicated membership advocates.
Engaging Discussions Led by Our Facilitators
Trainers and Real World Applications
Facilitator: Derek Smith, VP of Programs
Derek led a vibrant discussion on how trainers can better connect with members and provide practical applications for PMI principles. Participants shared their needs for more accessible resources and real-world examples, sparking ideas for future collaboration and resource sharing.
Mentoring and Career Development
Facilitator: Hector Del Castillo, VP of Professional Development
Hector’s session focused on the importance of mentorship and career guidance. Attendees discussed their challenges in finding mentors. This discussion highlighted the need for a structured mentoring program within the Chapter, which is now in the planning stages.
Peer Bonding and Networking
Facilitator: Toni Smith, VP of Membership
Toni’s discussion emphasized the value of building strong peer connections. Attendees expressed a desire for more networking events and team-building activities. This feedback is driving the development of new social and professional networking opportunities for our members.
Key Takeaways and Future Directions
The insights and feedback gathered from these discussions were invaluable. Here are some of the key takeaways and the steps we are taking to address them:
• Enhanced Resource Accessibility: We are working on a new, user-friendly resource page that will make it easier for members to access training materials and real-world application guides.
• Structured Mentorship Program: Plans are underway to launch a mentorship program that will connect members with experienced professionals for guidance and support.
• Increased Networking Opportunities: Expect to see more frequent and varied networking events, both virtual and in-person, to help you build connections and foster a sense of community.
