Overview: Just as the PMBOK Guide is the standard for the Project Manager, the The Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) is PMI's standard for the Project Management organization. What is it, and how should your organization adopt it?

International Project Management is becoming the norm. Cross-cultural contact is increasing, creating a greater potential for both conflict and cooperation. Given the rapidly changing environment, the ability to relate to all types of people is an essential skill for project managers.

PMI Northeast Ohio (PMINEO) Chapter Recession Proof Your Career (RPYC) group is for people:

• Concerned about facing a career transition
• Coping with a career transition right now
• Who have made a successful career transition and want to assist others

This group focuses on solutions for those of us who are currently in career transition and on how to manage the risk of career transition for those of us worried we may be next.

Please help us improve the Recession Proof Your Career Group by taking this survey. Thank you.

In 2010, the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) of Cleveland raised over $10,000 from the collection of pull tabs.  These tabs can be found on cat and dog food, soups, soda cans and other canned good items.  PMINEO is helping RMH in 2011 by collecting pull tabs at our meetings.  There will be a collection container at the registration table at every chapter meeting.

In addition to saving pull tabs at home, consider collecting pull tabs at work in the break/lunch room, if proper approval is received. Stickers and flyers to advertise the collection are available.  Contact Patty Abdenour at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The money raised from the pull tabs is used for family emergencies, to celebrate special occasions and for family meals. RMH of Cleveland supports families whose children are receiving treatment at local medical centers by providing a place to stay, meals and other resources.  RMH of Cleveland has 37 rooms.  Annually, there is a waiting list of 800.  The average stay at RMH is 10 nights.

Thank you for your help in supporting RMH of Cleveland!
