I hope that this letter finds you safe and healthy!  It sure is great the weather is getting better and we can spend some time outside.

All of us are learning to cope with the social distancing, masks, hand-washing, and virtual everything.  Our June 16 monthly program will once again be virtual, with registration opening first to members already as of June 1, then any open spots made available to guests on June 10, We are already holding supplemental events like what we normally have prior to our monthly meetings at the main site, on different days, so you can attend both the Networking LCI and Life Sciences LCI.  We will be repeating last month’s successful virtual New Member Orientation.  Once again, all fees will be waived for all monthly programs.

In our Professional Development area, you’ll be seeing some special new offerings in addition to our PMP and ACP certification programs, all virtual of course.  Also, starting with the June 4 Disciplined Agile Presentation, we will be offering Disciplined Agile education and certifications.  Keep your eye out for some exciting news to follow.

We will be bringing back small group meetings with the Board, formerly known as “Breakfast with the Board”, though we are planning on doing Zoom meetings; it could be “Breakfast with a Board Member”, “Picnic with a Board Member”, or whatever our Board members dream up, but there will be at least one event per week, at the same virtual table and with opportunities for full interactivity. This is coming soon!

We are exploding with meetups and trivia nights; do keep your eye out for them.  It has been lots of fun to participate, and we are getting to know each other more and more.  Be sure to try one out and you’ll want to keep coming back.  Next trivia night is June 5!

Very soon you’ll have an opportunity to participate in our Board election.  Please be sure to post your ballot.  The Board structure is changing significantly in line with our new By-Laws; please see the 2020 Board Election information on our home page for information.

Thanks again to all our fabulous Board members and dedicated volunteers getting us through this time.  Also, thanks to you, our members, for your perseverance and also communication with us as we navigate this new world.  Together we will come back stronger than ever.  I am looking forward to seeing you in person, when it’s safe to do so.

Please stay safe and healthy and follow all the guidelines at Coronavirus.gov.

Although it is all virtual now, remember about PMINJ….

"Wherever you are... we are there with you!"
