Thank You to Kathy Ober
By Gilann Vail-Boisvenue, PMP, President Elect
For the past three years Kathy Ober has served as Western Michigan’s PMI Chapter President and President-Elect. In that time, she has constructed a knowledgeable, experienced, and fun group of individuals that serve as the board of directors. Before Kathy served in the President positions, she served the board as VP of Education and prior to that as VP of Administration. Recently, once the VP of Marketing position was vacated, she has been filling this position all while maintaining her Presidency duties. During Kathy’s tenure, huge accomplishments have been made to move our chapter forward. Let me list just a few:
- Built the original PMP Certification Course. Kathy also teaches on a regular basis.
- Managed the implementation of PMI’s Performance Management Framework that assures our chapter is strategically aligned with PMI. This was no small task!
- Sponsored the past two PDDs that have been a huge success.
- Sponsored the launch of the Mentorship Program which had 32 participants.
- Sponsored the launch of this eNewsletter which brings us into the internet age.
- Sponsored the launch of the Education Counsel which is going strong.
- Kept our chapter charter and Bylaws in compliance with PMI’s regulations.
- Participates at the monthly Region 4 PMI meetings as our champion.
Kathy, THANK YOU for all you’ve done for WMPMI!
