Steven Shapiro, Vice President of Communications for PMI Atlanta, understands the importance of clear and accurate communication and isn’t afraid to show it. He started as a volunteer January 2012 and has been going full force ever since. Shapiro ensures that the members stay informed with the latest news and trends of this fertile profession. He manages the newsletter, event coverage and social media for the chapter.
As we all know in the PM World, multiple channels of communication can often become convoluted. When asked what challenges he faces Shapiro reported, “The challenge I face is getting all of our events covered and managing the time commitment to run the group.” He incorporates a full-time position for AT&T as well as going to school into his busy schedule. “Time management is something I am constantly working on. I have a goal for 2013 to institute a baseline and unified voice for the chapter’s social media outlets.” Although his profession and volunteer efforts are not closely related, Shapiro does dedicate the same level of organization to both spectrums.
He hails from the great fighting city of Philadelphia and positions himself as a gadget guy enjoying the latest trends of technology when it comes to his hobby.
