National Volunteer Week
This week is National Volunteer Week. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our members who volunteer in both their personal and professional lives. Organizations such as PMI OVOC cannot succeed and continue to thrive without volunteers.

The PMI OVOC Elections Committee thanks all the candidates for participating in this year’s election process. The quality of potential executive and board members willing to stand for election shows how strong and vibrant this chapter is. Without volunteers, many of the chapter activities and initiatives that we take for granted, would not be possible. A special thank you to the general membership, the voter turnout was strong, another indicator of this chapter’s strength and commitment.
The PMI OVOC would also like to thank the 2019 Elections Committee including Names; Terry Koech(Chair), Heidi Theelen and Brenda Williamson.
