Thinking Positive about Risk Management

“Thinking Positive About Risk Management” provides a means for developing a strategy that will equip project teams and business managers with tools and techniques that will prepare them to address a wide variety of potential risk situations and opportunities. The goal of the session is to make project teams “risk aware”, “contingency prepped,” and “opportunity conscious.” This is an interactive seminar focused on the application of practical tools that can be readily utilized by project teams as well as business managers.

PMINYC proudly recognizes National Hispanic Hertiage Month for September. Learn more about the origins of this month of celebration.

Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the contributions of Americans tracing their roots to Spain, Mexico, Central America, South America and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean. In 1968, Congress set aside a week for this observance and two decades later expanded it to a month stretching from September 15 to October 15. The timing is historically significant as September 15 is the anniversary of independence in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. The designated period is also a nod to those from Mexico and Chile, which celebrate their independence September 16 and September 18, respectively.  [LEARN MORE] Source permission: courtesy of History.com.
