PROJECT MANAGEMENT DAY OF SERVICE
VENUE > LOWRY CONFERENCE CENTER on FEB 26, 2026
Questions Email: Dirpmdos@pmimilehi.org
The Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS) is a special one-day event where project managers volunteer their skills to help local nonprofits.
Think of it as a “planning day” for nonprofits—where experts sit down with organizations to set goals, solve problems, and build clear action plans they can use right away.
For nonprofits, it means walking away with practical tools like fundraising calendars, communication strategies, or program timelines. For volunteers, it’s a chance to give back, grow their skills, and see the power of project management in action.

It was such a wonderful opportunity to not only collaborate but also learn from the other PMs and the nonprofit leaders we worked with.
