Call for Speaker Recommendations!

Are you really passionate about some aspect of project management?  Do you have a business process or best practice in your workplace that you would like to share with the PMILOC members? Have you heard a speaker recently at a conference or on a webinar who really inspired you? Want to earn some PDUs in the "Giving Back" category?  If your answer to any of the above is 'Yes', then we need to hear from you!  

The Chapter is always looking for informed, thoughtful, inspiring speakers.  If you would like to speak yourself, or want to recommend another person, please send an email with the name of the potential speaker - yourself or someone else - the presentation topic, and when you heard them speak (if applicable) to: [email protected].
