PMI Atlanta is pleased to announce January’s Volunteer of the Month – congratulations, Deborah Cromartie!

For over 10 years Deborah has served diligently as a volunteer for the PMI Atlanta Chapter and currently serves on the Operations Committee. With that outstanding length of tenure, it certainly demonstrates her enduring devotion to the project management profession and our PMI Atlanta Chapter. Deborah is an enthusiastic and assiduous volunteer who enjoys helping to further promote and move the PMI Atlanta Chapter forward. She states it's extremely gratifying and rewarding to her that she can assist others in furthering their project management education, training and certifications.

This positive and inspiring attitude for wanting to help and serve others in PMI Atlanta is what defines such an awesome volunteer like Deborah. With such a tireless pursuit of continual and never-ending improvement, commitment to excellence and selflessness to help others, clearly explains why she's so highly regarded in our organization. A fellow PMI Atlanta member commented, "Deborah is the shining example of our PMI Atlanta slogan…"Volunteers just don't do the work - they make everything happen, because she undoubtedly does the work AND makes things happen".

In addition to being such a stupendous PMI Atlanta volunteer, Deborah is also a world traveler who enjoys traveling to various destinations around the globe. She especially enjoys going to the Caribbean where she can enjoy the great beaches while soaking up the warm rays of the sun. When not traveling she also enjoys attending plays, concerts, reading and spending time with her friends and family.

2015 PMI Atlanta Financial Report

PMI Atlanta is pleased to announce December’s Volunteer of the Month – congratulations, Carleton Moten!

For the past several years Carleton has served in various capacities for the Industry Forums Committee and has achieved outstanding success in each role, his most recent assignment was AVP for this committee. Carleton is a born leader and modern P.T. Barnum, a great master of advertising, promotion, communication and charisma. Under his auspices, the Industry Forums Committee footprint has grown exponentially, including event attendance, corporate sponsorships and professional engagement, as well as personally drafting many other volunteers for roles in the PMI Atlanta Chapter. This level of diligence and foresight is what spurs comments like the one below about our meritorious December VOM.

"Carleton is a POWERHOUSE! The amount of time and energy he put into building and supporting the Industry Forums is CRAZY!" - quote from a current committee VP

In his leisure time he enjoys his most relaxing activity, which is watching movies. And although he enjoys a variety of movie genre's he openly admits he's grown very fond of romantic dramas, and openly admits one of his favorites…….The Bridges of Madison County (awesome movie & book), gets him to sob every time. How can we not love, admire and appreciate a fellow volunteer who bares their soul so openly like that to our entire PMI Atlanta organization.

Carleton's PMI Atlanta philosophy sums it all up………"PMI Atlanta affords a wonderful opportunity to work with committed individuals, all of whom are stretching themselves in important ways to grow themselves, PMI Atlanta, and the profession." What an insightful and tremendous thought process that is worthy of reverberating to each member throughout our PMI Atlanta Chapter and beyond.
