Happy Anniversary Fort Worth PMI!
Fort Worth PMI was chartered in 1992 and this year – 2022 – marks 30 years of service to the project management community! In celebration of this anniversary PMI created this special “30 YEARS” celebration logo for us.
As we go through this momentous year we will reach back into history to remember historical events and hear from some of our former Board Presidents. Be sure to visit back every month to journey back in time with us!
Memories from former Board Presidents
-- Memory from Cindy Vandersleen, PMP - FWPMI Board President 2019-2020
One of my favorite early memories from my time on the board was the first time we won chapter of the year in 2011 for our chapter size class. I had the privilege of attending LIM that year and witnessing our chapter president walk up to the stage and receive the award. Then the following year (2012), in our 20th anniversary year, we received it again! It was almost unheard of for the same chapter to win 2 years in a row. We were able to celebrate the announcement with our membership during one of our monthly chapter meetings where we gave away gifts to each meeting attendee.

Historical events from 1992
- In August of 1992 the Mall of America opened in Bloomington, Minnesota. It had 330 stores and 10,000 employees. Think about the planning required for this massive project!
