PMI TED Message
South Alabama Members, we received the email below from PMI. If you are interested in participating please send me a note.
John Dennett, Chapter President by COB 20 February 2020 at president@pmisouthalabama.org .
My cell phone number is 256-307-9233.
A cheery hello to you all!
Please find attached a TED@PMI Ambassador Toolkit. Why? Because we need to get the word out about the opportunity for any PMI member to do a TED talk at the NA LIM.
I want every PMI member to understand that they may apply to be a TED speaker, and share their idea worth spreading. Here’s the thing: a good amount of people have already applied. However, some of these applications are more appropriate for, say, PMI’s Global Conference than for the TED stage. A TED talk is different; the speech doesn’t have to be about Project Management at all, or it could be about project management, or project economy, or leadership – any of the things PMI is known for.
I’m sending this toolkit to you so you can nominate PMI members that you know (and if they’re not a PMI member, if they purchase membership today, they can apply tomorrow!). The deadline to nominate is 21 Feb – I apologize for the lack of lead time, but we have to move quickly on this one.
