Event Updates in Response to COVID-19
2020 Symposium: Project Management is More Than Luck
The Symposium Team spent the last two weeks working with our vendors and speakers. Regrettably, we will not reschedule the symposium for this year. Many PMI chapters are facing this situation and PMI is working on ways to help members earn their PDUs for maintaining their certifications. Please go to pmi.org to learn more about the ways you can earn PDUs remotely.
The VP of Finance is starting the process of issuing refunds of the registration fee. We will begin processing refunds Monday March 30. It may take several days for the refund to appear on your account.

Topic: Demolition Risks
The risks associated with demolition are high due to the hazardous that are unknown. These unknowns can result from construction changes or additions to a facility over the years or decades that were not properly document or structural degradation that can take place in areas that can’t be seen from the naked eye or from demolition contractors that are not properly training or have the skill set needed for task at hand. These risks can be exasperated if the project team or project stake holders don’t have the proper mindset i.e. “it’s only demolition, no big deal, just tear it down.” This presentation will take the group through an actual demolition project of the tallest structure in Oconee County, South Carolina and the steps taken to minimize and mitigate these unknowns.

Grow Your Skills
It is particularly important for Project Managers to maintain and improve their project management knowledge and skills to stay competitive in the market. PMP certification is a critical component. As project management discipline took a step toward more flexible and dynamic project management methodologies, in addition to the traditional waterfall approach, several new emerging methodologies became high in demand. Thus, training and credentialing in these methodologies became highly sought after among Project Management professionals. It is especially relevant in today's economic climate.
