PMINEO is 35!

The story starts with Dr. Harold Kerzner who explains that “when we founded the PMINEO Chapter, two dozen of us would meet once a month in a conference room at either Allen Bradley on Alpha Drive or at Cleveland Electric Illuminating (CEI), now First Energy.

Dear chapter members, volunteers and attendees of PMI Northeast Ohio’s 35th anniversary event, 0n behalf of the Northeast Ohio Chapter PMI, it is my absolute honor and joy to welcome you to this milestone celebration—our 35th Anniversary Casino Night!

This year we reflect on the incredible journey of our chapter. Since its founding in 1990, our chapter has been a beacon of excellence, education, and community for project management professionals across Northeast Ohio.

Well wishes from PMINEO's past presidents, Dr. Harold Kerzner and Janet Kuster!

From Harold Kerzner: I wish to express my sincere congratulations to PMINEO for 35 years of service to Northeast Ohio and the project management community of practice at large. A little more than 35 years ago, I recall less than 10 of us sitting in a room talking about starting up a project management chapter in Cleveland. Our biggest challenge was finding a place to meet once a month. If my memory is correct, two companies allowed us to use one of their conference rooms once a month in the evening for a couple of hours: Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company and Warner & Swasey. We could not bring any food into the meeting.
