PMI GLC Members,

We would like to thank all 175 members who participated in the PMI GLC 2nd Annual Networking Open House on Wednesday, July 28, 2004. The Open House featured information booths set up by PMI GLC Outreach Committees, 12 local Universities, ISSIG, Women in Project Management SIG, Students in PM SIG & Auto SIG.

In addition to providing networking and information gathering opportunities, the Open House featured an educational presentation "Software Testing - A Necessary Nuisance or Critical Cost Saver" presented by Farmington Hills office of Sogeti USA and product demonstrations by Microsoft and Primavera. We extend our special thanks to Sogeti USA, Microsoft and Primavera for bringing the presentations to our membership.

To better serve your interests and to provide value for your membership, we would like to hear your opinions about the Open House. We would like to know what aspects of the Open House you found useful and what you did not and how we can make it better. Please send your feedback/opinions to vp.communications@pmiglc.org; the best suggestion/critique will receive a surprise gift.

This September, PMI GLC will have been in existence for 25 years. Please join us in celebrating the Silver Jubilee Anniversary at the Dinner Meeting on September 13, 2004. Presented by Richard Sheridan, the topic of the dinner meeting is "Accidental Entrepreneur." Richard and his growing firm, Menlo Innovations, became the cover story in Forbes Magazine (May 2003). Learn how he founded a successful information technology company in the very same economy that was creating so many employment casualties.

We look forward to see you in September. Until then, enjoy the rest of the summer!!!
