Project Management for Social Good!

 

Welcome to today's open house celebrating giving back through project management! We're excited to open up our community today to all project managers around the world to talk about making a difference through the use of project management. Here's what's on the agenda:

Two FREE Webinars (great way to earn PDUs!)

• LIVE at 12:00 PM ET: How to be a Strategic Volunteer presented by Bruce Harpham. In this webinar, you will learn how to filter and identify volunteer opportunities that fit with your skills and passions. Project management and leadership skills have great value in many circumstances - the key is find the right fit for you.
• OPEN On Demand ALL DAY: Project Marketing and Stakeholder Engagement for Non Profit presented by Dr. Maulik Baxi. More and more project and program managers are now being employed by non-profit organizations across the world. Similarly more and more non-profit organizations encourage their staff to become familiar with and obtain certification in project and program management. While the guidance available in the project management body of knowledge, the practical literature on the topic of marketing and stakeholder engagement largely focuses on for profit corporations. This webinar presents the principles and tools and techniques as it is applicable to the non-profit organizations

One (1) PDU will automatically be reported for PMI credential holders who view either the live or recorded version of these webinars. Please allow 10-14 business days for processing. 

Please note: Pre-registration does not guarantee access. Our webinars are on a first come, first serve basis with a maximum room capacity of 1500 attendees. These webinars will be recorded and available On-Demand within 48 hours.
