Asking the Tough Questions:
Are We Relevant?

Clearly that is a question we need to continually ask ourselves. The next question is, to whom and why is it important to be relevant. Our world is in a state of constant change. Maintaining relevance is key to our continued success as a trade association.

Since its reorganization in 1998, PMI has benefitted from the active involvement of members to keep our organization focused, relevant and fresh. The meeting facilitator, in fact, was impressed by the level of participation of the Think Tank group and their understanding of what it takes to keep PMI at the forefront.
