Dinner Meetings
On May 31, 2018, PMI South Alabama will host an informal social at Irish Bred Pub on Dexter Ave. in Montgomery. Anyone interested in project management is encouraged to come by.
This will not be our usual dinner meeting. It's a chance for chapter members and others who are interested in networking to find out more about PMI, the PMP credential, and PM in general. At some point we'll induce one of our members to get up and say a few words, but other than that it's an open cash bar and some appetizers provided by PMI South Alabama. No admission fee will be charged - buy yourself a drink and come meet PMI South Alabama!
