These not only highlight the remarkable achievements of our organization but also serve as essential resources for our members. Their creativity, technical expertise, and commitment have significantly enhanced our communication methods and community engagement. They have dedicated countless volunteer hours, often surpassing expectations. From the initial stages of video preparation to the final editing process, they have expertly managed all aspects of production with professionalism and zeal.

To the the Front Range and Foothills branches - Welcome to PMI Mile-Hi!

Our mentees come to the PMI Mile Hi Mentorship Program with a ✨️ wide range of goals.
Some are moving into project management from other careers and want help finding their footing. Others are preparing for the PMP, getting their resumes reviewed, or practicing for interviews. Many are working toward leadership and senior-level roles, looking for guidance on PMO and project management best practices, or building the confidence to make their next career move.
You already qualify to be a mentor if you’ve: Worked in project management for 3+ years; Passed the PMP (yes, people have questions about it); Landed a promotion; Learned from a big mistake; Dealt with a difficult stakeholder
Only checked one or two? That’s okay! 👌 The smaller skills count too, and mentees value them. Your go-to status report format or how you run a tough meeting can save someone months of trial and error. Mentoring time also earns you PDUs.
Applications are due at the end of the week.
