2018 was a great year for Project Management for Change and Project Management Day of Service Events. Over 8 events were held across the country:
- Washington, D.C.
- Atlanta, GA
- San Francisco, CA
- Hampton Roads, VA
- Gdansk, Poland
- Wellington, Somerset, United Kingdom
- Denver CO
- Queens, Australia
Whether it was a first-time event in that locale, or their second, third, or even fourth time, the impact was there. Local nonprofits brought their most pressing initiatives, and came out with a plan of action to continue their mission. Project managers donated their time and skills, and left knowing they had made a positive impact on their community. To all locales, we congratulate them and recognize their hard work to make their event a success! We can't wait to see what 2019 brings.
