CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — September 16, 2023. Mavendog’s President Jon Vordermark presented at PMI Carolina and PMI Triad NC’s annual Professional Development Day (PDD). Mavendog also had the honor of sponsoring. The Project Management Institute (PMI) is the leading professional association in project management.
It was a marked year for this year’s PDD, which was the first time the event was held in person since before the COVID pandemic. The face-to-face forum created a buzz of renewed energy, with a fantastic list of speakers, sponsors, professional networking, and PMI-community celebration.
“I have been a member of the PMI Carolina chapter for 20 plus years. It is a honor to be invited again to speak. It was also great to reconnect with members, chapter leaders, event volunteers, and fellow speakers.” – Jon Vordermark

This year, PMI Carolina and PMI Triad partnered together to reach a wider, Project Management audience across North Carolina. Jon presented on “Project Management Consulting and an Exploration of Soft Skills”, discussing the qualities of good problem solving and decision making. The talk wove together philosophical, experiential, and even neurological aspects of project and consultative work.
A huge thanks to the chapter volunteers who made the event happen. Hat’s off as well to the leadership of Rhonda Evans, President of the chapter. We also would like to thank Wake Forest University Charlotte Center for providing such a fantastic, modern venue.
For those of you who would still like to experience the 2023 PDD (and see Jon’s talk), the sessions are available On Demand through November 30th. The On Demand demand is also eligible for PDU credits. Register here.
