I've started a new blog on my own site:

(no longer active)

I'll be posting about life in general and project management themes, including events related to my new role as VP of Education in the PMI Northern Utah Chapter, on my new site.  I'll still post about things PDU related here but, if you haven't noticed, it is slowing down.  I'm a little over half way through my certification renewal cycle and have about 5 PDUs to go, which I will get on the Professional Development Day in October.  If I should happen to miss the PDD, for some reason, I'll be getting 5 just for doing my job this year, and a few for volunteering in my local chapter.

My next step is to figure out how to get 20 PDUs next year that I can roll over into the following renewal cycle.

I haven't asked about it yet, but I just realized that I should check to see if I will be able to claim PDUs for the book I am co-authoring.  I am only contributing a couple of chapters, but it is still exciting to get published.  You can expect to hear about it from me and other Ganttheads, soon.

Once the book is published, it will be time to get back to work on my own book. 

Back to my new role.  I am brainstorming ideas for service opportunities for voulnteers in the chapter.  I am thinking about a couple of different programs.  One is a mentoring program (one to one), where non-PMPs are assigned a PMP to help them prepare for the exam.  The other is for PMPs to lead study groups (one to many) to help non-PMPs prepare for the exam.  What do you think?  Feedback is appreciated.
