February 2026 Newsletter 
Important Updates and Information for Members
New Year, New Goals
Like many people in the beginning of a new year, the PMI- NH chapter board took a look at the year ahead and asked "how do we want to grow in 2026?" As we looked ahead, our focus became clear. We want to spend this year celebrating our members, strengthening connections, and creating more opportunities to come together in person.
This year, we’re placing a bigger spotlight on the people who make our chapter what it is. From seasoned project professionals to those just starting their PMI journey, we want to hear our members stories. If you are interested in being highlighted in the PMI-NH chapter newsletter, please reach out to Shauna Cook at [email protected].
And perhaps most exciting of all, 2026 marks a major milestone: PMI New Hampshire’s 25th birthday! We’re already planning a special celebration this fall to honor our history, recognize our members, and look ahead to what’s next. Please be on the lookout for more details of this in-person celebration in newsletters to come.
Here’s to a new year and an exciting new chapter for our PMI-NH members.
