President's corner
“There is nowhere else I would rather be” By Bob Sanders, MBA, PMP It has been 17 years since I last served as your Chapter President and I am thrilled to come back and volunteer as your Chapter President once again! Some of my best volunteer experiences have been with the PMI Eastern Iowa Chapter and I look forward in having these experience again in 2023 and beyond. We are off to a great start. Your chapter Board members met all day on January 23, 2023 to discuss ways of working and ideas to increase the value of a PMI membership to our members and our corridor businesses. Joining me on those discussions were:
Some of the themes which surfaced and we plan to tackle are the following:
Finally, our chapter has been in existence since 1996 and we have developed a rich history. To keep that history alive and to “continuous learn” from each other, I am looking to form a Past-President Circle where your past presidents along with me, can discuss ways we can continue to serve each one of our members in a meaningful way through sharing our wide-range of experiences and diverse ideas. I thank you for this great opportunity you have given me. I will not take this opportunity and the responsibilities that go along with it for granted. If you ever want to share your ideas with me or if you would like to join us in one of our volunteer opportunities, please email me at president@pmieasterniowa.org. Cheers.
