Join former PMI Pittsburgh chapter President, Fred Arnold, as he shares his experiences on "The Benefits of Being Involved with the Pittsburgh Chapter." Come with your own questions or engage in a discussion that might cover the folloing topics:

• Knowing what you want
  Listening is a valuable skill set
  Networking - It's not an opportunity for forceful direct sales of your organization's products or services. People may be interested in your experience and objectives for being involved in PMI Pittsburgh
  Sharing knowledge and experience - what has worked and what has not worked, and why
  Giving back

Light Breakfast Included.
