Bill Clinton and Project Management – PMWT Editorial discusses importance of October Speech to PMI

June 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Dallas, Texas, USA — PMForum has announced that the Editorial in the June edition of the monthly PM World Today eJournal contains an important exposé on the importance of former US President Bill Clinton’s upcoming speech to the Project Management Institute’s annual North American congress in October.  In April 2010, the Project Management Institute (PMI®) announced that former US President Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker for the PMI Global Congress 2010 – North America in October.  That big conference, PMI’s largest worldwide, will be held in Washington, DC during 9-13 October 2010.  

What has former US President Bill Clinton to do with professional project management?  Not enough yet but that is about to change, according the David Pells, Managing Editor at PMForum and PM World Today.  Pells’ editorial in the June edition of PM World Today is entitled “With Former US President Bill Clinton, PMI to Step onto the World Stage at Global Congress in October.”

According to the article’s introduction, “While PMI has had some big names and well known speakers at events in the past, this will be the first time that a former U.S. president will appear as guest speaker.  With this year’s event, featuring former U.S. president Bill Clinton, PMI is finally reaching the level where professional project management belongs.  This is a very significant and exciting development.”

The June editorial provides background information on former US President William J. Clinton, describes the impressive humanitarian activities and global reach of the Clinton Foundation, discusses his far reaching contacts among world leaders, and suggests some possible benefits to PMI and the project management profession that could arise from his speech.  In addition, Pells outlines some steps that PMI might take to promote this big event and use President Clinton’s appearance to advance the PM profession.

The June edition of PM World Today again features nearly 100 articles, papers and stories about projects and project management from more than 30 countries.  To read the Editorial about Bill Clinton and Project Management click here; For other contents of the June edition, visit www.pmworldtoday.net.
