PMI President and CEO Mark A. Langley recently had the opportunity to speak at an international conference discussing challenges for the European Union's (EU) Cohesion Policy. PMI advocates for project management in Europe by helping improve the ability of countries to implement projects when they receive funding from the European Union. This funding is referred to as "cohesion" or "structural" funding. PMI strives to build administrative capacity for countries receiving this funding, and has successfully advocated for 21 amendments to EU legislation that specifically reference standardised project management practices.

"My first mentor was one of the two female managers that I worked for in my 32 years of work. She was an individual who took the time to coach me, give me guidance and was very instrumental in giving me that push I needed to get out of my comfort zone. My mentoring style today is based on how she mentored me. One thing I remember her saying to me was "if I had your common sense I would be the president of the company." I still think what a great thing to tell a young woman who is trying to find her way and give her such a boost." says Linda M. Wegrzynowski, PMP from ExxonMobil Business Support Center Hungary Ltd
