Dear PMI Atlanta Community,
Reflecting on our recent participation in the Latino Youth Leadership Conference hosted by Emory University fills us with immense pride and gratitude. The event, graciously made possible by the Latin American Association and the PMI Atlanta Social Impact Committee, provided an invaluable platform to share our project management journey and insights. The presentation at the Carlos Museum on November 11, 2023, featured PMI Atlanta Social Impact presenters Robert Montgomery, Cyntia Jones, and guest presenter Luis Pradillo. Each shared their unique experiences, emphasizing the blend of challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons encountered on their personal project management journeys.
Our interaction with high school students and college mentors within Emory's inspiring Carlos Museum setting was genuinely enriching. The exchange of ideas and knowledge amongst this diverse group was profoundly inspiring and reinforced the significance of empowering the next generation. Among the impactful insights shared were strategies to navigate challenges in project management and the importance of seizing opportunities for professional growth. We emphasized the need to encourage ambitious aspirations while underscoring the diligent work required to turn dreams into tangible realities.
As we collectively shape the future, fostering empowerment in the next generation becomes pivotal. Witnessing these future leaders' enthusiasm and potential was humbling and inspiring. We eagerly anticipate the positive impact they will create in their respective spheres.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the organizers for providing this exceptional platform. Through such initiatives, we collectively champion #LatinoLeadership #ProjectManagement and pave the way for a unified journey toward success. Let's celebrate the power of career journeys while emphasizing the profound significance of youth empowerment through endeavors like PMI Atlanta Social Impact.
Warm regards,
PMI Atlanta Social Impact
