Sheri Palmer, Elections Manager for the PMI Phoenix Chapter, has been a dedicated PMI member since 2005 and stepped into her volunteer role in 2025. Inspired by a desire to give back and connect with others, Sheri took on the challenge of managing the 2025 elections for the newly formed Arizona Chapter. Her passion for project management and its transformative impact on both personal and professional outcomes shines through in her work. Sheri finds the most rewarding part of volunteering to be the new connections she’s made and the opportunity to collaborate with others who share her enthusiasm for the field. Her advice to new members? “It’s never too late. Even a little bit can help. Working with others allows you to do great things when you come together.”
Outside of her volunteer work, Sheri is an adventurer at heart—often found on mountain runs or traveling in her sprinter van with her dogs, friends, or family. Her favorite destination is Colorado, where she enjoys challenging hikes and peaceful walks along rivers and waterfalls. Sheri’s personal motto, “Be a courageous and caring leader. Lead by example,” is reflected in her approach to both life and work. She’s passionate about health, kindness, and continuous growth, and she’s driven by a desire to be the best human she can be. Whether she’s reading mystery novels, volunteering with at-risk children, or planning her next national park visit, Sheri brings energy, compassion, and a goal-driven mindset to everything she does. Her colleagues describe her as “nice, but also goal driven”—a perfect blend of heart and hustle.
