Oliver Howard joined PMI in September 2023 and began volunteering immediately, inspired by his father who has held a PMP certification for over 20 years. After attending a PMI Chapter event and meeting Board Director Danielle Lee, he was eager to get involved and learn about project management. This year, Oliver has been an active member of the Marketing Team, contributing to the 2024 AZ PM Summit, managing social media, and helping design PMI Phoenix polo shirts for volunteers attending the Leadership Institute Meeting. Oliver finds great satisfaction in working with diverse individuals, learning from people in various industries, enjoying the opportunity to contribute and provide value to others.
Oliver encourages new members and those considering volunteer work to dive in, highlighting the supportive environment and the wealth of learning opportunities available. He believes that everyone is willing to help and that volunteering is a great way to gain experience. Outside of his volunteer work, Oliver has a hidden talent for solving Rubik’s cubes and playing the guitar. He loves classic rock music and enjoys spending time at the beach in Southern to mid-California. Passionate about sports, Oliver plays various sports daily and sometimes twice a day. His business philosophy emphasizes the importance of building relationships, and he is inspired by his parents, who have been his heroes and role models. Oliver’s proudest moments are the personal and professional growth he has experienced, and he is driven by a desire to continue learning and growing. His personal motto, “try to find balance,” reflects his commitment to maintaining equilibrium in all aspects of his life.
