Dear chapter members, volunteers and attendees of PMI Northeast Ohio’s 35th anniversary event,
On 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!
Tonight, we gather not only to enjoy an evening of fun and camaraderie but to 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.
To our Founding Members —your vision and dedication laid the foundation for everything we celebrate today. You saw the potential for a thriving professional community and made it happen. We are forever grateful.
To our Past Presidents, thank you for your leadership and foresight. You steered the chapter through times of growth, challenge, and transformation – we have seen changing workplaces, industries and even a global pandemic.

As your Current Chapter President, I am deeply honored to serve this remarkable community. I stand on the shoulders of those who came before me, and I am continually inspired by the passion and dedication of our members, volunteers and partners. This year, we’ve focused on expanding member engagement, building community, and creating inclusive spaces for learning, mentorship and connection. These achievements are not mine alone—they are the result of a collective effort.
To our Governance and Operations Boards, thank you for your tireless work behind the scenes. Your strategic guidance and operational excellence ensure that our chapter continues to thrive and serve its members with integrity and impact.
A special Thank You to our Volunteers and the incredible team behind tonight’s celebration. Your creativity, commitment, and countless hours of planning have brought this event to life.
