President’s Message – Kathy Harvel

Volunteers are Our Treasures!

 

April is National Volunteer Month! Launched by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, the month of April is dedicated to recognizing volunteer contributions and encouraging the spirit of volunteerism. The Fort Worth PMI Chapter values and recognizes our precious volunteers throughout the year. The Fort Worth PMI Chapter is 100% volunteer-driven, so without volunteers our chapter programs would be non-existent.

Think about all the time that is spent each month preparing for and executing all the Fort Worth activities we have going on. Just in January, February and March of 2024 our chapter has participated in over 50 volunteer-driven activities – activities such as the Future City competition, Board of Directors meetings, Book Club, Toastmasters, annual planning sessions, budget meetings, monthly member dinner meetings, the Volunteer Appreciation luncheon, Professional Development Conference planning sessions, academic outreach efforts at Lone Star Elementary in Keller, individual member calls, training sessions for new chapter leaders, corporate outreach activities such as the DFW Airport event, community outreach activities such as presentations to non-profit organizations & Habitat for Humanity volunteer events. Other activities are more in the background but so essential to our chapter – activities such as preparing and delivering the newsletter, updating the website, posting on social media, preparing marketing materials, keeping financial and chapter records up to date, recruiting and so much more!

I want to take this opportunity to say “THANK YOU” to all YOU Fort Worth PMI volunteers who give of your valuable time and expertise to continue to make our chapter special.

Kathy
