Happy Mother’s Day and Welcome to May’s warm weather and green grass!

Last month we held a successful Spring Symposium with 265 attendees! With the great support of our Volunteers, PMIGL provided our membership with another “Best in Class” event. We had a full day of valuable professional development, plenty of networking opportunities, and great cuisine. 

Our next large PD event, Professional Development Day, will be held on October13th at The Kingsley Bloomfield Hills. More details will be coming soon so please watch out for the information.

Thank you for your support and membership,

Leading Virtual Teams with NO LIMITS
By William A Moylan, PhD, PMP, FESD, DTM, Professor Emeritus, Eastern Michigan University

In both, much of the project success relies on the leadership abilities of the project manager. Read on.
