Features
If you are like me, you are a very busy person. Finding and making the time to excel at work and family life are both full time jobs and there are never enough hours in the day to accomplish everything that you want to do. That being said, I am going to encourage you to add one more thing to your plate: professional organizations.

There are thirteen passions people get energized by. No one gets fuel from all of them. Review the list and identify your three greatest passions. This will help you in the future to place your time and effort in a way where you will have the energy to make a significant difference for your organization.

PMPI Heroes are those people whose extra efforts make PMPI such a great organization. They often step into the breach and take care of those tasks that make all the difference. The Hero program is meant to recognize volunteers in a timely fashion, so nominations can be made at any time.

All Heroes are automatically nominated for the Star Award, given at our E2 events. Our current set of Heroes represent some PMPI’s best and finest. Please thank them when you see them!
