Mentoring Program
PMI Metrolina Chapter wants to provide avenues for members to get to network and grow professionally by developing contacts in the industry. The mentoring program is a great way for the chapter to provide this opportunity. The program not only benefits the mentees but the mentors as well. Mentoring provides a great way to give back to the project management profession. It gives participants the opportunity to grow their network while at the same time earning PDUs!
The mentoring relationship will be conducted between the mentor/mentee pairs and their meeting frequency and schedule will be agreed upon at the beginning of the program. The partners will then conduct their meetings, give one another feedback and rate the overall program. The chapter will provide training in March on how to have an effective mentoring relationship. The time commitment will be up to the mentoring pair. The chapter will also support the mentoring pairs with an online discussion forum. Please help us kick off this rewarding program. Regardless of your career level, you may participate as a mentor or mentee.
You can visit the PMI Metrolina Chapter Mentoring Program for more information and to register to be a mentor or mentee. Once you sign up, you can check back for updates or we will contact you to complete the next step in the process. For more information regarding mentoring contact Mark Cichonski at mark@4cchangepartners.com.
Monthly PMI Metrolina Chapter Meetings:
PMI Metrolina Chapter holds it monthly chapter meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. We meet at Byron’s South End located at 101 West Worthington Avenue, Suite 110, Charlotte, NC, 28203. There is plenty of free parking, a light rail stop, and the location is close to uptown.
In order to keep our costs low and provide the best member value possible, we are required to provide our chapter meeting venue caterer with a headcount on the Friday prior to the meeting. It is for this reason that we have discounted pricing for advance registrants. In order to receive the advance registration pricing, you must register, and make payment, for the meeting online before noon on the Friday before the meeting. If you register for a chapter meeting and then later find you are unable to attend, please contact us and we will preregister you for the next chapter meeting at no additional cost. If you register after the stated deadline, we cannot offer you the discounted price and must charge you the full price.
2013 Chapter Meeting Fee Schedule:
Members in Advance: $20
Non-Members in Advance: $25
All Attendees at the Door: $40
(Advance pricing ends at noon on the Friday prior to the meeting.)

Sheetal Puri
Volunteer Position: Membership Chair – I process the PDUs for chapter meetings, and will develop the process for incorporating new members to our chapter meetings. Also any other membership related issues.
Years with PMI Metrolina Chapter: 1 year.
One unique fact about yourself: I have always been fascinated by flight and aviation, and also had worked in the industry. A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to fly a piper plane (with an instructor of course!). I could not believe how easy it was to do, but after the lesson was complete, I was glad to have landed safely and was happy to have my feet touch the ground!
Thanks to all PMI Metrolina volunteers. Your commitment to our chapter is what makes us a success!
