Introducing Satellite Site: Asheville, NC

By Annette Hobbs

We are pleased to announce the founding of the Asheville, NC satellite of PMI Metrolina.  We are so excited about this venture that we decided to depart from our 2007 bi-monthly meetings and begin holding monthly meetings.  Our meetings are open to all current PMI Members and anyone interested in project management in the Western North Carolina area.  We meet the 4th Thursday of the month, at the Volvo Construction Equipment office building: One Volvo Dr.; Asheville, NC 28803.  We start the evening at 5:30 PM with food and networking and begin with the program and presentation at 6:00 PM. 

Our first meeting was held in June 2007 with Annette Hobbs discussing an essential project management topic: “Ethics, the Leader’s Guide”.  Yassin Chickha, last year’s Metrolina’s President, brought us a topic that was applicable to many members:  “Managing Multinational Teams”.  There was so much interest in Doug DeCarlo’s offer to share his knowledge of “Xtreme Project Management” that we scheduled our October meeting around his busy consulting and speaker schedule.  In January, Dr. Jeanne Dorle, Director of Project Management Graduate Programs at Western Carolina University opened 2008 with her presentation of “Understanding the Impact of Diverse Thinking Styles on Project Teams”.  During our March meeting we discussed what the members wanted from these meetings and that is when we decided to increase the frequency to meet monthly.

Our future meetings will be posted on the PMI Metrolina web site at least two weeks before each meeting.  The cost of Asheville satellite meetings will be $10 in advance and $15 at the door. This satellite is lead by Annette Hobbs who is supported by two other volunteers.  For more information please contact one of the satellite volunteers:
