PMI-NJ 2007 Regional Symposium

"Sustainable Project Management - The Future is Now!
"

7 May, 2007 - Skylands, Randolph, NJ

The work of project management involves sustained effort to achieve objectives; in turn, project management assures results that sustain the business. The results of projects produce lasting outcomes that may also have unintended consequences. Project managers are obliged to consider
the social, environmental, and economic context in which their projects are planned and implemented, assessing their impact to assure that the desired outcome is produced. Project managers must also sustain themselves and their teams throughout the project life cycle!

The 2007 Symposium will feature an engaging program with dynamic keynote speakers, a variety of track sessions and ongoing opportunities to interact with poster presenters, vendors, and PMI local interest groups. In addition, you'll be able to network with other project management professionals.
