July 2020 Letter from the President

July 2020

Dear Members,

Arizona reopened and our COVID-19 numbers spiked. Due to members supporting older loved ones and all of us being encouraged to stay safe at home, the chapter will remain on the virtual event course for 2020.

The chapter is still providing continued education with certification courses, PMP study groups, webinars, and career services. We remain here for you to provide membership support for economic hardship, transitioning military veterans, and mentoring for career growth.  

If you have questions, need assistance, or have a suggestion that you want the chapter to hear, we are here to assist. We are here to serve.

What’s Happening?

Check out our website calendar. Events are scheduled virtually through October. You should be receiving a weekly calendar of events bulletin. You can pick morning, evening, or on-demand events to fit your schedule and to keep your PDU and education journey going without impact.

Want a certification class? We can help you find a certification class with our virtual instructors. Exams are scheduled virtually by PMI Global with a web camera and environmental test procedures to maintain PMI standards.  If you want a certification, now is the time.

As always, if you do not see the event you were looking for, let us know so we can explore options.  If you need assistance or have a question, reach out to This email address is being protected from spambots.
