Book Club
Join us for a cup of coffee and a great discussion! Book clubs have been around for decades and are now gaining popularity within the corporate environment and now for project management practitioners like you!
The FWPMI Book Club offers:
- A venue that encourages discussion and exchange on project management topics
- An alternative to traditional meetings that still qualifies for PDUs
Would you like to participate in a book club? Here's what you do:
- Go to the Chapter's calendar to find the date of the next book club meeting and register for it. Typically meetings are about every six weeks to allow time for reading the selected book.
- The event description includes the name of the book and author. Acquire the book through the local library, book store or perhaps an e-book application. Read it and come to the meeting prepared to discuss it.
