Q&A with Britt
1.What aspects of your involvement in this chapter bring you the most satisfaction?
I love that I can help connect people with the information they need. It’s rewarding to know that the website serves as the first step for many who are looking to get involved. Plus, I get to meet new people and build relationships, which makes the experience even more fulfilling.
2. Considering your experience, what guidance would you offer to newcomers joining the chapter?
My advice would be to jump in with curiosity and an open mind. There are so many opportunities to learn and connect. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or volunteer—everyone here wants to see you succeed!
3. How do you personally define the significance of belonging to this professional community?
To me, it’s about staying connected with a group of professionals who share similar goals. It’s a space where I can both contribute and grow, while helping others do the same.
4. What personal benefits do you derive from your volunteer contributions to PMI-LA?
Volunteering allows me to give back while enhancing my skills and expanding my professional network. It’s also incredibly satisfying to know that my work directly contributes to the chapter’s success.
Thank you, Britt, for being a PMI-LA rockstar!
About the Lee Mandley Volunteer Spotlight [formerly Volunteer of the Month]
Founding Director of the PMI-LA Alhambra Community Meeting located at DeVry, Lee was a Construction PM and a long-time member of the chapter. He was the voice and liaison for the San Gabriel Valley members east of Pasadena. Lee was the first director to institute round table discussions on interesting Project Management Topics when a speaker had to cancel at the last moment. Between 2012 and 2024, we presented the ‘Volunteer of the Month’ award to a key volunteer who exhibited the outstanding trait of working “outside-the-box” to ensure that chapter operations are running smoothly in their area. This award was renamed to honor Lee Mandley and renamed again 2024 to Lee Mandley Volunteer Spolitght.
