As I came off the PMIMSL Board at the end of 2013, I began as the Region 6 Mentor, working with the Boards in 26 Chapters in our Region of 8 states. This was challenging and exciting, and I learned more about PMI on a global level. When that role was over, I served on the Chapter Insight Team (CIT) – another global role, this time acting as the ‘voice of the chapter’ to PMI. Even though this role began about the same time as Covid, which limited my in-person interactions; I enjoyed supporting the Chapters and various Chapter initiatives within PMI. I also worked on other PMI projects: creating coursework for Chapter Leaders, managing conflict within chapters and working on the chapter conflict process, and possibly my favorite: judging various awards program candidates! All of this gave me a better understanding of what PMI is all about and the opportunities open to our members.
