PMI-NH Annual Business Meeting
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the PMI Annual Business Meeting and our special 25th Anniversary Edition celebration last month! It was great to reflect on our chapter’s history, recognize the incredible contributions of our volunteers and members, and look ahead to what’s next for PMI New Hampshire. We truly appreciate your time, engagement, and continued support as we continue to build the future of our organization.
If you’re looking for another great way to connect, we’d love to see you at our next New Member Mixer on May 28th at the Tideline Public House in Durham, NH. Whether you’re brand new to PMI or simply want to expand your network, this casual and fun event is a great chance to meet fellow members, learn more about the chapter, and get involved. We hope you’ll join us!
