"Better Together: Back to Basics" Success Story!
In the season of reflection and giving, and as we start to wrap up another incredible year together, I wanted to share how grateful I am for all our members and volunteers – you are truly what keeps FWPMI thriving.
Looking Back to October
A huge thank-you goes out to everyone who joined us at our Professional Development Conference—attendees, speakers, and volunteers alike. Your energy brought our "Better Together: Back to Basics" theme to life and made our PDC an absolute success!
The shared knowledge, connections, and inspiration just reiterate that professional development can be more impactful when we learn and grow together.
A special thank you to our sponsor, The Mattress Factory or your support in making our Professional Development Conference a resounding success!



What’s Happening in November
PMI Global Summit: This month, several members of our leadership team are heading to Arizona to attend the PMI Leadership Institute Meeting (LIM) and Global Summit! We’re excited to learn from global peers, gain fresh perspectives, and bring back new tools, strategies, and inspiration to share with you.
These events remind us that while our work begins locally, our impact stretches across the global PMI community.
Don’t miss the last Dinner Meeting of the Year: We will be gathering at Texas Star Conference Centre to hear about PMO Transformation with Victorious Eche on the 20th. Remember to register early to get the better rate.
Join the informative Lunch and Learn with our very own Chapter Engagement Specialist, Melissa Bennett who will be taking us on a deep dive of our PMI benefits and tools available to chapter members on November 25th.
Volunteer Call
As always, we are seeking a few great volunteers to support upcoming special projects and community service initiatives and help the board make the magic happen. Whether you want to lend a few hours or take the lead on a new idea, your contribution matters. Please contact president@fwpmi.org to see how you can get plugged in.
Quick Reminder:
As the holiday season fills up with family, friends, and festivities, take a moment to check your PMI and FWPMI membership renewals.

Staying active ensures you’ll receive member benefits, are up-to-date on the latest PM information, locks in event discounts, and gives you access to all the exciting programs we’ve lined up for 2026.
Thank you again for continuing to Engage, Equip, and Empower one another. Your enthusiasm and leadership make FWPMI the friendliest chapter around. Here’s to finishing 2025 strong—and building an even brighter 2026 together!
