Connecting
Consulting SIG Members to the Consulting World at Large - Volunteer
Opportunities
The Consulting SIG is
looking for 2 to 3 volunteers to work on a recently launched initiative
to create a new service to our members. The service entails the
development of relationships with other consulting associations,
as well as consulting firms, generating benefits for our membership
while legitimizing
our role as a focal point for consulting professionals interested
in project management. Commitment
requires 1 to 2 hours a week over a few months and is a great way
to contribute to the SIG. Contact alex.nascimento@abnassociates.com

PMI®
New Jersey Chapter to Host
International Project Management Day
The
PMI New Jersey Chapter is sponsoring an
International
PM Day celebration on 2 November, 2006.
This event will celebrate project management while extending participants'
knowledge, skills, and personal networks.
Volunteers Needed
The Consulting SIG and New Jersey Chapter is looking for volunteers
to help setup a Consulting LIG
(Local Interest Group). The goal of the LIG would be to create
an opportunity for Consulting SIG members in the area to meet and
network with each other. Consultants learn early that having a strong
network allows them to get involved in projects that they cannot
handle by themselves. This would be a perfect opportunity to expand
your network and let other consultants know what you can do.
Please contact
Judy Balaban,
New Jersey Chapter LIG Director at 609-520-4386 or Frank
Parth, Consulting SIG Chair for more information.
