Subject: The Strategic Mindset – For Your Organization, Your Career and Your Life

Speaker: David Barrett

Strategic planning is now a part of the PMI’s Talent Triangle - now identified as a critical component to our current and future roles. However, reading and hearing is one thing but how many of us are in a position to practice strategic planning and execution? ALL OF US.

This session will show us how strategic planning is a key to our success at work but, as well, to our careers and our lives. We will learn how to create a solid plan for any of the three legs and we will leave with the start to our own Professional Strategic Plans.

Special Event

PM Community Day of Service

When: Saturday, April 25, 2026

Where: CMU Troy Campus

Time: 8:00am – 5:00pm (breakfast and lunch provided)

The Project Management Community Day of Service is a service event where experienced project managers provide pro bono project management services to local nonprofits.

This is an extremely high-impact and meaningful way for project managers to give back to the community.

Each nonprofit is paired with a team of experienced project managers. The group meets a couple of times prior to the event day to discuss the project and get to know one another other. On the day of the event, they work through the details to finalize the documents, and the nonprofit leaves with an actionable plan.
