If your or your employee's development goals include project management, and your departmental training budget allows, you may want to consider this training opportunity. The Quad Cities PMI Chapter is hosting the attached 1-day seminar related to project management (see below). Lee Lambert is a well known expert in the field and is speaking on a topic that hits close to home for many of us managing projects at Deere. It's also an opportunity for those of us who need to maintain our PMP certification with some inexpensive credits (thus the name PDUs for Pennies).
