PMI Sydney Community Coaching Program a at Good Beginnings Annual Meeting

8

Nine months into 2012! The membership base, volunteers, board members and sponsors have grown and the PMI Sydney Chapter is showing signs of an effective, collaborative, productive and consistent system! It is awesome to see the energy and enthusiasm at each event, workshop, board meeting, and encounter with members, sponsors and associates. For that I can only say: THANK YOU! It is great to lead and be involved with leaders!

The PMI Sydney Chapter (PMISC) continues to deliver on the three major objectives set out early in the year:

a)2012 members by the end of 2012

b)13 sponsors lined up to support the 2013 PMI National Conference

c)Sustainability

Our membership base has been growing steadily, and I am hoping we will get close to our objective, as we have had great initiatives delivered to our membership base and the professional market.

Our sponsorship base has been growing in a very creative and innovative manner and we have several

organisations interested to participate in the upcoming conference.
