Dear PMI Chapter Leaders for Region 2 and Region 3,
All chapter leaders and their guests from R2 and R3 are invited to attend the first ever combined Region 2 & Region 3 Leadership Institute Meeting (LIM). The event will take place from June 15 - 17, 2023, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
What is the Region 2 & Region 3 Leadership Institute Meeting (LIM)?
The purpose of a R2 and R3 LIM is not to duplicate PMI Global events, but instead to maximize time for collaboration and relationship building at the region and Chapter level for Chapter leaders. There will be leadership skill development and information sharing, but the face-to-face interaction and relationship building with other chapters leaders in similar roles is the primary value of the event!
This event is separate from the PMI Global North America LIM in April 2023.
Why should you attend?
Share - Share knowledge and experience of chapter leaders and members, to avoid reinventing the wheel and to help others learn to improve their results.
Collaborate - Collaboration leverages the “we are better than me” principle. We should be able to leverage the skills and time available for each regional leader to improve results and save time for all.
Engage - Learn how to use the services and ideas available.
Lead - Leadership development is a benefit to all of us and our chapters and members.
Member Value - In the end, we want our members to have a better member experience.
Please remember to register for the following additional events as well:
