2013 Chapter Accomplishments
Maintain the energy and enthusiasm in the Chapter
Improve the Chapter Web Site by implementing appropriate
interactive technology to our membership for 2011and beyond.
Continue the mechanization development effort which John Kos
initiated by introducing technology which will allow membership a
Baltimore Chapter ID card for easy access to Chapter events,
Seminars, and other Chapter sponsored activities. This will allow
electronic PDU submission by the Chapter, not its membership.
Broaden our Chapter’s ability to leverage the Project Management
knowledge by increasing Seminars, Education Events, and Career
Night activities.
Improved the Chapter Processes to support its growth from 2012 and beyond
Improve our ability to reach out to local academia
