Congratulations, Carolyn Toomer! Carolyn was selected as the November PMI Atlanta Volunteer of the Month. She serves on the Education Committee and was selected based on her efforts to increase awareness of the PM profession to colleges and high schools. We caught up with Carolyn to learn more about her PMI Atlanta experience.
Q. What has been your favorite or most rewarding volunteer experience with PMI Atlanta?
A. Receiving the enthusiastic emails for the scholarships recipients. The Chapter scholarships had not been awarded in a number of years and it was great to get the program back on track and to begin the education program with the metro area high schools and universities.
Q. What leisurely activities do you enjoy? Is there a little known fact that you’d like to share?
A. I am a musician and love to share my music. Currently, I am playing the Bass Clarinet with the Georgia Perimeter College Community Wind Ensemble
Q. Is there anything else you would like to share about volunteering , PMI Atlanta or your professional experience?
A. I encourage all PMI Chapter members to volunteer and give some time back to the profession during their careers. Volunteering is a very rewarding experience and project management skills can make a difference in the lives of many people. My PMI Atlanta Chapter experience has ranged from participating in the Atlanta Project for a Day event each year, assisting local universities by providing speakers, project management mentors, workshops, and project management expertise to students and faculty.
