Where else would you hear introductions such as, “Hi, I'm Inflexible Helen.”  “Nice to meet you Helen.  I'm Over-Extended Steve.”?  This type of exchange was common for the first five minutes of the special event, Information is NOT Transformation, presented by Dr. Jerry Brightman, president of The Leadership Group.  This all-day course was sponsored by SNEC-PMI in conjunction with Connecticut Information Technology Institute (CITI) at the UConn campus in Stamford, CT.

Hunger!
1 out of 6 Americans struggle to find their next meal.

When most people think about hunger, they think of a starving child in a third-world country. Or perhaps they think of a long line of homeless people waiting outside an inner-city soup kitchen. The truth is that hunger in United States is a huge problem.  In a country known for its wealth and prosperity, 50 million (1 in 6) Americans struggle to find their next meal.

Most people think about hunger during the Holiday Season, but the needs for donations are needed throughout the year. After our successful food drive in January, we have been asked to continue our efforts and collect non-perishable goods at future SNEC Chapter meetings in Cromwell.

A Hardship Provision is available to any PMI member whose financial condition has changed drastically and sufficiently so that a member would have difficulty renewing their membership.  A member must be in good standing for at least three previous years to qualify for the hardship provision.  Under the provision, a member is granted a waiver for one year of PMI Membership dues and one year of dues for membership in any two PMI Components of which the applicant was a member the previous year.  The Hardship provision may be granted for a maximum of two years for each member.
