 What Can Running For Office Do For You?

• When we apply our leadership skills in more than one organization, we demonstrate our capacity for growth.
• When we volunteer time to an organization, stepping outside of our normal routine, we invigorate our growth.
• When we update our resume with recent accomplishments, we shine attention on our continuing growth.

Your Board experience will contribute to your career advancement and job mobility, especially in these three Foundational Skill areas that a recent LinkedIn article described as a “winning trifecta” to meet the needs of the 21^st century job market:

• Human/Soft Skills – social, creative, and critical thinking to lead innovation and collaboration
• Business Enabler Skills – project management, business process management, communicating data
• Digital Building-Block Skills – computational thinking, i.e., problem-solving methods that involve expressing problems and their solutions in ways that a computer can execute

Few volunteer organizations have the educational programs that will upskill your experience level more than PMI-LA.  Ensure that we continue to actively leverage PMI-LA’s mission by bringing your leadership to fill one of nine Board of Director (BoD) openings for 2026:

• President (2 years previous Chapter Board experience required)
• VP of Operations/President-Elect (previous Chapter Board experience required)
• VP of PMO & Administration
• VP of Finance
• VP of Technology
• VP of Membership
• VP of Marketing & Communications
• VP of Programs
• VP of Career Development

Make it known that your professional progress on the career improvement roadmap is intentional by adding experience that includes executive leadership, team collaboration, critical thinking, stakeholder relations, depth of management scope, expertise in policy management, building training opportunities for members of your profession, and overall experience in organizational processes.
