Thank You!
PMINUC is becoming something bigger.

A professional home.
A leadership engine.
A community that changes careers — and lives.
And it’s happening because of you.
This Week’s Featured Message: The 15-Minute Project Reset
We’re one month into the year.
Which means two things are already true:
-
At least one project schedule already feels… optimistic.
-
At least one process is being held together by spreadsheets and good intentions.
So instead of another big goal, here’s something you can actually do today:
Try the 15-Minute Project Reset
Set a timer and knock out these three quick wins:
1️⃣ Check the schedule (without panic)
Open your project schedule.
Ask: Do these dates still reflect reality… or just hope?
If it’s a little off, congrats—you caught it early.
2️⃣ Follow one stakeholder
Pick one key stakeholder and trace their journey this month:
What did they need?
What did they wait on?
Where did things get stuck?
You’ll learn more in 5 minutes than in most status meetings.
3️⃣ Kill one manual step
If you’re copying the same update into three tools… that’s your sign.
Automation exists. You deserve better.
Small reset. Better flow. Fewer “surprise” conversations.
You’ve got this.

President, PMI Northern Utah Chapter

Exploring Opportunities:
Your calendar just made new friends. 👀
Yes, we love project plans.
But the best networks aren’t built in meeting invites.
They’re built over popcorn, buzzer-beaters, and friendly trash talk.
Coming soon to PMINUC:
🎬 Movie Night – zero slides, 100% vibes
🏀🏒 Jazz & Hockey Night – projects by day, superfans by night
🎤 Game Show Night – bragging rights included, spreadsheets optional
No panels.
No panels about panels.
Just real people, real laughs, real connections.
Because careers grow faster when your network does.
Stay tuned. You don’t want to miss these.
