PMI Leadership Institute Meeting 2009 - Orlando

Just back from Orlando after attending this year's LIM meeting. As usual, there were a lot of useful experience sharing and learning from other PMI volunteers. I'm most impressed by the session led by the San Diego chapter which is about volunteer development. These guys really apply management practices well, even their subjects are not paid workers. Motivation and skill development techniques still work here.

Bravo Management!

The keynote speaker, Dr. Gary Bradt, is a inspirational speaker with wonderful talents. All delegates have been inspired by his 'The Ring in the Rubble' and 'Golden Legacy' stories.

Both the opening and closing sessions drew a crowd of 700+ attendees, a record for LIM meeting.

Big news for Asia is Seo-san, Past President of PMI Japan Chapter, being awarded the 2009 PMI Component Award - Volunteer of the Year. (Left: PMI's CEO Greg Balestrero; Centre: Seo Megumu; Right: PMI's Chair Ricardo Vargas)
