PMI Florida Suncoast Chapter

A few weeks ago, PMI Suncoast hosted the Across the Bay Networking Event, bringing together project professionals from all over the area.? We asked attendees what brought them out, and the responses highlighted the power of networking—some came to meet potential job candidates, while others were there to connect and share insights.? No matter the reason, events like these remind us how valuable it is to engage with our professional community. #networking #projectmanagement #acrossthebay Rene Clayton Jill Erling Aimee Wera Payton Lewis Moe Works Anthony Aguilar, PMP, CSM, A-CSM,Certified SAFe? 6 Agilist Neena McNeil, CSM, CSPO Jessica Turner, MBA Bill Greer Jennifer Johnson, PMP, ITIL, SMC, SPOC Armaine Atienza, PMP, CSM Yadira (Yadi) Caro William W.
