Project Management Institute
Northeast Florida ChapterJacksonville, Florida
Project Management Institute (PMI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving and advancing the
state-of-the-art in project management. PMI's aim is to promote professionalism in the practice of project
management through a comprehensive support system.
The Northeast Florida Chapter was chartered in August, 1995 and is located at the greater city of
Jacksonville, Florida, one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and the home of the NFL Jaguars
football team. Since inception, the chapter has over 600 members representing over 50 Jacksonville
corporations and businesses.

Calling all PMI members! 100 Homes Jacksonville project (http://www.100homesjax.com/home) needs your help. Project management volunteers are needed to assist the 100 Homes Jacksonville project leaders with project initiation and project execution activities. Specifically, the Project needs assistance with:
1. Process definition and documentation
2. Project organization set up and governance
3. Cost / Benefit analysis approach and development
The bulk of the work is to provide coaching, advice, and a strong right hand to project leaders around the most basic project management processes. They also require some of your hard skill sets such as process modeling, requirements gathering, and meeting facilitation.
For the first three months, the Project may require 10 hours / month of your time. Once the processes are defined and documented, the volunteer may have the opportunity to extend with the project as a trusted advisor – estimated to be less than 4 hours per month.
If you are interested in helping out a great organization, please forward your resume to
volunteers@pmi-nefl.org.

"Presentation #1: Enthusiasm and Leadership – Are you making bricks or building a cathedral?
Enthusiasm of the leader is the best motivational factor there is, if the leader isn't charged and motivating, then there will be little motivation. This presentation looks at enthusiasm, leadership, and team motivation and how it applies to project management, program management, requirements management, and process engineering.
"Presentation #2: Schmoozing and Project Management
How do you get that uncooperative line manager to get more committed to your project?? How do you make all members of a geographically disperse team feel ownership for a project?? How do you make suppliers stay actively involved in your project?? You schmooze 'em. This presentation was given at the PMI Global Congress.
