Overview:

There are many ways to improve your professional knowledge and skills. One way is to increase your knowledge by reading current and relevant project management books. We've created book clubs that are designed to be small discussion groups led by a facilitator.

It's an informal group meeting for a Saturday morning where one person serves as the facilitator to guide and promote discussion. It is an excellent way to meet other chapter members and open a dialogue regarding trends and challenges experienced by those in project management roles.
And, earn PDUs!

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet the author of our featured book!

We are thrilled to announce that Neal Whitten, the acclaimed writer of Power Skills That Lead to Exceptional Performance, will be joining us for our March book club meeting! This is a unique chance to hear from the author himself about his creative process, inspirations, and insights into the book. You will also get to ask him your burning questions and share your thoughts on the book.

This is a book club meeting like no other, so make sure you RSVP as soon as possible. We can’t wait to see you there and have a lively discussion with Mr. Whitten!
