| Dear Colleague, On this, the fourth annual International Project Management Day, I would like to take a moment to thank you for your contributions as a professional project manager and valued IIL client. The job you are doing is a critically important one for businesses, governments and our society. The idea of formally recognizing the value of project management and of designating a “day” for honoring project managers worldwide began with one individual — namely Frank P. Saladis, PMP, Senior Consultant to IIL and co-publisher of allPM.com. Today, educational events and gatherings are taking place around the world. We hope that you and your organization are also participating in some special way. In New York, where we are headquartered, Mayor Michael Bloomberg proclaimed today, November 6th, International Project Management Day. The mayor said in his proclamation, “As we add new buildings to our iconic skyline; as we improve our public schools to help more children thrive; and as we strive to guide this city through tough financial times to emerge stronger than ever; we depend on project managers to get the job done right. These professionals affect almost every aspect of life in New York City, and today we are proud to join International Institute for Learning in celebrating International Project Management Day.” Also, on November 5, 2008 from 8:00pm – 11:30pm EST IIL hosted a worldwide webcast, Leading Projects in a Changing World, and will host the same webcast today from 11:00am – 2:30pm EST, which is bringing thousands of project managers together to focus on project management best practices throughout the world and to witness how the profession is bringing companies to new heights. Please visit www.ipm-day.com for more information. All these activities represent a benchmark in how far the project management profession has progressed. But even more important, today is simply a good day to pause and recognize the important role you are personally playing as an individual project manager, often as one of the unsung heroes behind the big and small achievements that add up to great progress. So, thank you. And keep up the good work. The world appreciates it. Sincerely,
E. LaVerne Johnson
