PMI Atlanta’s Executive Board has moved to heed Governor Deal’s request to have people stay off the roads. Thus, for the safety of our membership and volunteers, it has been decided to postpone tonight’s dinner meeting to a future date in February 2014. We will follow with more information as it becomes available.
Due to inclement weather, the Downtown Lunch Meeting scheduled for January 29th has been cancelled. We are working with the speaker to reschedule for another meeting.
The Technology Forum scheduled for January 28th has been postponed to February 4th. We apologize for any inconvenience. We look forward to seeing you next week!

The first year of PMI Atlanta’s Education /Academic Program at Kennesaw State culminated with great success. The Kennesaw State Program was initially championed by PMI Atlanta board member Cathy Luby who reached out to Richard L. Teters, Jr., Professor at Kennesaw’s Michael J Coles College of Business to develop a partnering relationship.
Initially the Chapter provided speakers who presented core areas of project management drawn from the class syllabus and incorporated with real life project management experiences. The student’s understanding of project management was amplified by the application of real world knowledge to written concepts and the opportunity to participate in discussion with industry professionals. Professor Teters and his students were Cathy’s guests during its Project of the Year (POY) Award dinner where they were able to network with the PMI community and Cathy connected them with SITA, one of the POY winners. The connection between Professor Teters and Bruce Weaver of SITA sparked an innovative idea that would immerse the students in the Project Management profession with exceptional results.
As an added bonus for attending, you are eligible to win a FREE registration for the February or March Dinner Meeting!
