Vickie Hoang and Joe Benigno are both PMI members from Biloxi and have lead the way in getting this meeting in place.  I need everyone to spread the word and invite co-workers and your bosses to attend.  If there is an opportunity for me to come and make a PMI presentation at your company location, I would definitely be interested in coming.
