Theme
The 2022 PMI Symposium focus is on “Meet Your Future”. It will be a day to discuss innovation, technology, and workforce development in the Roanoke Valley.
We are pleased to kick it off with a multi-organizational power team that is building out commercialized biotech clusters from the ground up in the Roanoke and New River Valley regions. You will hear how innovation, development, technology, and workforce initiatives can come together seamlessly to shape the future and how to sustain the momentum. Tom Hendrickson will present on how to communicate with technical teams. In addition, we have breakout sessions on Cyber Security, Diversity and Inclusion, and Product to Project. In closing of this full day event, we will have Lynda McNutt-Foster from Cortex Leadership Consulting wrap up the day with her endnote presentation on “The Power of We”.
We are excited to be back at Hollins University! As part of giving back to our chapter, we will have a professional photographer available for anyone who would like to get an updated headshot.
