Presidents Message September 2025
Dear PMI Buffalo Members,
I’m excited to share a few important updates with you this month.
Upcoming Professional Development Day (PDD)
Our next PDD will be held on November 18th. This is always one of our premier events, and we look forward to bringing valuable learning, networking, and professional growth opportunities to our members and community. Please be sure to save the date—you won’t want to miss it!
Celebrating 30 Years of PMI Buffalo
This year marks a very special milestone, our 30th Anniversary as a chapter. We celebrated this occasion at Chestnut Ridge, and it was a wonderful time catching up with familiar faces and welcoming new members. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Sheila Schostick, Daniel Culross, BethAnn Kibby, Rosa Delaney, and Pauline McKeown for all of their hard work and dedication in preparing for this event. Your effort meant a great deal to me and helped make the celebration truly memorable.
Looking Ahead to 2026
I also want to thank our board for their thoughtful work during our 2026 Planning Session. We are always looking for ways to improve and grow as a chapter, and your input as members is vital to that process. If you have suggestions, ideas, or feedback, we would love to hear from you.
Get Involved – Volunteer Opportunities
If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved with PMI Buffalo, we have many opportunities to contribute. Even if you only have a few hours here and there, we can match you with volunteer roles that fit your availability. Volunteering is a great way to make connections, strengthen our chapter, and give back to the project management community. Reach out to director_volunteers@
Thank you for being a part of PMI Buffalo. Together, we continue to make our chapter strong, supportive, and forward-thinking.
Vince McKeown
President, PMI Buffalo Chapter
