President’s Message – Kim Collins
December 2025
’Twas the month before year-end, when all through the chapter,
Not a project was stirring—well… except everything that matters.
Our members were nestled, still juggling deadlines with care,
In hopes that the New Year soon would be there…
Here at FWPMI, the energy hasn’t slowed for a moment, and I am thrilled to wrap up the year with you—our incredible community of project leaders, innovators, and lifelong learners.
A Season of Gratitude & Growth
As we gather around the final weeks of the year, I want to extend a warm and heartfelt Happy Holidays from our entire FWPMI Leadership Team. This year has brought tremendous engagement, growth, and momentum—thanks to you.
From dinner meetings to workshops, PDU-rich sessions to community outreach, you consistently bring curiosity, professionalism, and heart to everything you do.
A Nod to Global Summit & LIM — FWPMI Represented!
In November, our board had the privilege of attending both the PMI Global Summit and Leadership Institute Meeting (LIM) training. These gatherings reinforced the power of connection, transformation, and the future-forward direction of PMI around the world.
We brought back fresh strategies to strengthen member value, new frameworks for engagement and volunteer pathways, a strong network of chapter leaders ready to collaborate, and renewed motivation to build FWPMI into the most vibrant chapter in the region. Our leadership team is energized, aligned, and ready to serve you in the coming year!
Looking Ahead: A New Project Management Journey Experience
As we step into the new year, we’re excited to introduce a new event format designed to take you on a guided project management journey. Think of it as a chapter-long experience—hands-on, story-driven, and deeply aligned with the PMI Talent Triangle.
More details are to come in January, but trust me, you’ll want to be part of this adventure.
No More Guessing — A Permanent Home for Dinner Meetings
Good news! Starting in the new year, FWPMI is securing a permanent location for our monthly dinner meetings. That means no more bouncing venues, no more guesswork, and a consistent, welcoming space where learning and networking can flourish.
We’ll announce the official venue soon on FWPMI.org and across our social channels.
Volunteer Opportunities Coming in the New Year
If your New Year’s resolution includes giving back, building leadership skills, earning PDUs, or getting more involved in FWPMI, then keep an eye out for upcoming volunteer opportunities launching early in the year!
We have roles for every interest—from events and outreach to mentoring, membership support, and student engagement. Our chapter thrives because of passionate, purpose-driven members like you, and we can’t wait to welcome even more volunteers into the fold.

A Closing in True Holiday Spirit…
’Twas the end of the year, and throughout FWPMI,
Our members brought brilliance no one could deny.
With PDUs earned and connections held tight,
We celebrate you—our reason, our light.
So rest, recharge, and enjoy every cheer,
For bigger things wait in the coming new year.
Thank you for being part of our FWPMI family. Thank you for showing up, stepping up, and lifting each other up. And thank you for letting me serve as your chapter president—it is one of my greatest honors.
From my family to yours, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and may all your projects finish bright and clear.
Warmly,
Kimberly Collins PMP, CSM, PMO-CP
President, Fort Worth PMI Chapter
