A Message From Our President

Hello Members, Friends, and Future Project Leaders,

My name is Denae Kohler, and I’m honored to serve as your 2025 President of the PMI Triad NC Chapter. I stepped into this role with a heart for service and a deep respect for the strong, values-driven community that already exists here.

One of the core beliefs that guides my leadership is this: you don’t have to hold the title of “Project Manager” to be one. If you’ve ever planned a move, organized a family event, launched a side hustle, or led a team at work—whether officially or informally—you’ve practiced project management. The principles we share at PMI—structure, strategy, communication, and execution—are universal tools for getting things done, and they belong to everyone.

Each month, the chapter hosts educational events that provide professional development and PDUs for certification holders. But even if you’re not pursuing a certification, these events are an excellent way to build your skills, meet other Triad-area professionals, and stay engaged in your own growth.

We also offer monthly volunteer opportunities where members can earn PDUs and give back to the communities of Winston-Salem and Greensboro by helping clean up our cities. We believe that being a professional means more than showing up to work—it means showing up for our community, too.

👉 You can explore and register for upcoming events and volunteer opportunities HERE 

If you’re new here, I encourage you to take that first step. Whether it’s attending an event, volunteering with us, or just reaching out to connect—you are welcome here.

If you have any questions about the chapter or want to learn how to get more involved, feel free to reach out to me directly at President@pmitriadnc.org.

Here’s to a year of learning, leadership, and impact.

Warmly,
Denae Kohler
President, PMI Triad NC Chapter
