FREE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR VETERANS AND SERVICE MEMBERS
Upcoming events highlight military veterans thriving in the field of project management
GRAND RAPIDS, MI: This November, to coincide with Veterans Day, the Western Michigan chapter of the Project Management Institute (WMPMI) will host its 5th annual Veterans Month. Offerings include three events presented by military veterans, and all veterans and active service members will receive complimentary registration, including a free meal for inperson attendees, by using the promo code ‘VETERAN2021’.
WMPMI is pleased to once again be hosting some in-person events at The University Club in downtown Grand Rapids, though all sessions can still be attended virtually (a COVID-friendly option that also makes the meetings very accessible to anyone outside the greater Grand Rapids area). As always, WMPMI events are open to the public and participants with existing PMI certifications can earn valuable continuing education credits.
November’s topics and presenters will include:
- Project Planning & Management: Applying military strategy & tactics to projects
Monday, Nov. 8 | 5 - 8 p.m. (in-person & virtual registration options)
Speaker: Williamson (Billy) Wallace, J.D. - Director of Criminal Justice Training, GVSU - Project Management Beyond the Military
Friday, Nov. 12 | 12 - 1 p.m. (in-person & virtual registration options)
Speaker: Patrick J. Doliny, MBA - Sr. VP of IT and Cyber Security, Bang Energy - Transform Your Career
