President’s Message – Kim Collins

 

Happy New Year!

As your incoming president, I am thrilled to kick off 2025 with all of you and share some of the exciting plans we have in store for our community. This year, our focus is on growth, collaboration, and success—together, we’re going to make 2025 one to remember!

First and foremost, I’m delighted to announce that we will be returning to 100% in-person monthly dinner meetings. These gatherings will provide invaluable opportunities to connect face-to-face, share experiences, and learn from each other as a community. Mark your calendars for every third Thursday of the month —we can’t wait to see you there!

For those who enjoy the virtual events, don’t worry—we will be continuing our free monthly virtual Lunch and Learn sessions. These sessions have been a fantastic way to share knowledge and stay connected, and we’re committed to continuing this lunchtime favorite.

Additionally, we’re working hard to bring you even more networking opportunities, hands-on training sessions, and immersive experiences in the months ahead. Whether you’re looking to expand your professional network, sharpen your skills, give back to the community or explore new areas of project management, our goal as a board and a community is to help make that happen.

I want to encourage each of you to get involved, it truly does take all of us to make our chapter successful. If you’re interested in volunteering, being a speaker at our meeting or a virtual event, or know someone who would be great, if you have fresh ideas to share, or simply want to say hello, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at president@fwpmi.org. Your insights and enthusiasm are what make FWPMI such an amazing community.

Thank you for being part of FWPMI. Here’s to an incredible year ahead filled with growth, collaboration, and success for every member. Let’s make 2025 our best year yet!

Warm regards,
Kimberly Collins, PMP, CSM, PMO-CP
