Message from the Board
September 2024
Dear PMI Switzerland Members,
As the summer ends, I hope this message finds you well and recharged for the second half of the year.
Over the past few months, the PMI CH BoD has been working diligently to enhance the value we bring to our vibrant community of project management professionals. I would like to share some of the key initiatives that we have focused on during this period, which I believe will benefit all of us in moving forward together. In the Newsletters in the coming months, readers can look forward greater detail to be shared by each of the VPs.
One of our current endeavours is the reactivation of the Guest Pass Program, spearheaded by Ala Lutz, our VP of Membership.
The entire board is also heavily supporting the planning and execution of our chapter's key events, notably, the PM Conference 2024 on September 23rd, and the the International Project Management Day (IPMD) on October 30th, lead by Pia Henzelmann and Stefan Vesenmeier respectively. I highly encourage your attendance, as these events promise to be rich in content and networking opportunities.
To further enhance the quality of our events and other offerings, we have been developing a comprehensive Speakers Database, driven by Joachim Dehais.
In parallel, the 2025 events strategy is being developed under the supervision of Thando Dube.
We have also made significant strides in forging new Chapter Sponsorships and Partnerships. Mafalda Amaro and her team have successfully unlocked fresh prospects growth. Owing to their recent achievements, this team also plans to expand their academic and social good collaborative initiatives, with future training sessions in the pipeline.
Another area of focus is on the evolution of the PMI Switzerland Chapter website. Following a migration in early 2024, the Operations Team, under Philippe Soupart's leadership, is fervently at work in revamping the website.
Finally, we recently completed our half-year budget review, overseen by Augustin Salvadores.
We are most pleased with what has been accomplished thus far, and anticipate continued favourable outcomes that will benefit our community in the coming months. As these projects were conceived with our entire community in mind, we hope that a selection of them may resonate with you. Should this be the case, we would be delighted to welcome you as a volunteer. I encourage all to get involved within any of our highly rewarding intiatives. Volunteering is undoubtedly an exceptional opportunity to share your expertise, develop new skills, and connect with fellow professionals.
Together, we can continue to build a strong, dynamic, and supportive PMI Switzerland Chapter that benefits us all.
Warm regards,.
David Puippe
VP of Marketing and Communications
