Member Spotlight
Joel Ludwig joined PMI Northeast Florida (NEFL) in 2019. "I joined to meet other professionals in project management," he said. He recently started serving as Director of Meeting Technology for the chapter's Board of Directors.
Joel is a Systems Architect at Lockheed Martin, a global defense and aerospace company, where he spent the past three years supporting complex engineering and digital transformation initiatives.

I lean on my interpersonal skills learned through project management roles to influence others to get the work done," he said.
Outside of work, Joel enjoys staying active and exploring Jacksonville with his dog. "I also like to travel and working from home gives me the opportunity," he said. Joel recently relocated to Northeast Florida from the Los Angeles area and has been discovering the city's neighborhoods and local spots. "I am exploring a new coffee shop every weekend," Joel said.
