PMI Buffalo's Project of the Year Awards have been awarded to countless organizations, companies, and individuals in the Western New York community for over a dozen years. Last year, the contest was expanded, and there are now three individual project categories: Corporate/Professional, Community/Non-Profit, and Emerging Leader/Student! 

As the POTY 2019 Submissions Season draws to a close, we have made the decision to extend the contest application deadline date to Tuesday, October 15th!  We have already received several exciting entries for the various categories, but some categories have more submissions than others, and we think there are other project management teams and individuals who may be on the fence about applying. 

Give it a shot! This is a fantastic, once a year opportunity to honor your team and organization, and have your project acknowledged before a large audience of professionals in the Buffalo-Niagara region. Awards will be presented at a dinner event at the beautiful Tewksbury Lodge on October 30th. Plus, the winning project for each category will win $500 cash, includes excellent professional development opportunities for you and your team!  

The application process has been streamlined, and is quick and painless!  All you really have to do is have identify a single newer (2018-2019) project to submit, out of the many you work in support of every year! There is also a fillable pdf (attached) that you can use to apply, and it is downloadable, so if you know someone else in any of these categories who worked hard on a remarkable project--- Let them know!

We look forward to reading your project entry! And don't forget to register for the Awards Dinner on October 30th. If your project is a winner, dinner is on us!

As we approach our 25^th Anniversary in 2020, we have been sharing stories from our chapter presidents.  SteveTunmore liked this idea so much that he wrote his article in December 2018 as he was beginning his term as our President-elect.  We planned to publish this article in December 2019, but have decided to publish it now in his memory. 

Steve Tunmore, President-Elect 2019

Over the past 5 years I have held the positions of Director of Marketing and Communications, VP of Marketing and Communications, and will be going into 2019 as the President Elect for 2020.  I can truly say this organization from the board to its members are a special group of people who continually drive me to stretch my limitations, think outside of the box and grow as an individual.  PMI Global offers me opportunities to continually grow and develop my skills as a leader both for the chapter and as an individual.  I am looking forward to the next 3 years to continue my journey with PMI Buffalo and looking forward to developing a stronger foundation for the chapter to grow in the years to come.     

We won't have Steve to lead us over the next 3 years, but we will work as a board, as a volunteer group, as a chapter, to honor Steve's memory and to do our best to achieve his vision of a stronger foundation.
