PMI-OC New/Prospective Member Orientation on Wednesday, March 18, 2026

Virtual -- Zoom Meeting

Welcome to Project Management Institute-Orange County Chapter

You have taken the first step toward managing your professional career network and developing relationships with local, knowledgeable project managers and like-minded professionals. You are invited to join the PMI-OC Orientation Meeting.  In this orientation, we will present the value-added benefits, professional development opportunities, and programs that we offer to our members. The number one benefit of your membership in PMI-OC is the vast pool of individuals to network with.

We have guest speaker Darlene Hawley to speak about "Communicating with confidence in high stake project environment". In this session, you’ll discover a vocal empowerment system that helps you communicate with clarity and ease, present complex information in ways that inspire alignment, and clearly articulate your project’s value to stakeholders and leadership. You’ll also explore how to foster a team culture where people feel safe and supported to speak up early about risks, challenges, and ideas—so communication strengthens project outcomes at every level.
