🌟Volunteer Spotlight: Aroet Hale🌟
Aroet Hale (Aro) has been a PMI member for about a year and started volunteering around ten months ago. Inspired by another volunteer he met at an ASU event, Aro decided to get involved in volunteer work. As the Programs Event Coordinator for the Programs team, he has been actively engaged in planning, finding locations, and helping execute the Phoenix Fusion events, as well as participating in various ASU and other events. Aro finds it rewarding to get involved and meet people from diverse backgrounds and industries within the Chapter. He encourages new members or those considering volunteer work for the Chapter to dive in, as the experience is both fun and worthwhile. He believes the value gained from volunteering far outweighs any sacrifices made.
In his professional life, Aro's business philosophy is simple: work hard. He looks up to his parents as his heroes for their exemplary hard work and dedication. Aro's proudest career moment was earning his degree in organizational leadership and project management, while his proudest personal moment was the birth of his son last February, with another child due in April. Aro is passionate about his family, considering them a significant and important part of his life. Aro's hidden talent is playing pickleball, and he is quite skilled at it. His favorite destination is Zermatt in Switzerland, a charming, car-free city near the Matterhorn. Driven by a desire to make a difference in the world, he cares deeply about mental health awareness and helping those in need. Aro enjoys 'board' sports like skateboarding, longboarding, surfboarding, and snowboarding. His colleagues describe him as hardworking, chill, and laid-back, yet always getting the job done. Before he dies, Aro hopes to complete the Seven Summits.
Aro lives by the motto: “In worrying, you suffer twice.” Wise words from an exceptional volunteer!
Thank you, Aro, for your hard work, dedication, and the energy you bring to PMI Phoenix! 🙌
