Sheridan Smede has been a PMI member for almost three years, joining in February 2022. She began volunteering immediately after becoming a member, driven by the branding on the website and her excitement to get involved. Sheridan has been an active volunteer, facilitating study groups, participating in the AZ PM Summit Sponsorship Committee for 2024, and volunteering for foot traffic and speaker introductions at the 2023 AZ PM Summit. She is committed to continuing her volunteer work, facilitating two sessions for every study group and even four in the last one, with plans to keep contributing as long as she is needed. Sheridan finds it incredibly rewarding to help people attain their PMP certification, making herself available to answer questions and provide support, even hopping on calls to boost their confidence.
