Well, fall is just about upon us, and a lot is happening at Great Lakes Chapter. We have more of our popular dinner meetings coming up, and remember you earn 1.5 PDU credits toward recertification for attending (if you are PMP certified).

If you are not PMP certified, and you are interested in earning that distinction, remember that PMI has now changed the examination. The Chapter's PMP Review course has been redesigned to follow the new PMBOK Guide, 3rd Edition (R), as does the exam.

We also have two professional development days and a co-sponsored event in the next few months, so we're keeping busy. We hope you take advantage of all the events we have to offer.

We are planning on gathering membership feedback on the newsletter from each of you and in the next few days please expect a short email survey and briefings during the Dinner meetings from Arun Das. Meanwhile, please provide your comments or articles to him at advertising@pmiglc.org.
