Conference registration includes a ticket to the President's Dinner
PMI will honor the many accomplishments of Barbara "Barb" Higgens, former PMI CEO/executive director, at the Nov. 13 President's Dinner, part of the 2017 PMI Conference, Nov. 13-16, at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Sonoma Wine Country, Calif.
Selected to lead PMI in 1998 and serving until June 2017, Higgens revamped the organization from her kitchen table as its first and only direct employee, hiring a dedicated in-house staff, securing office space and equipment, developing a strategic plan, restructuring meetings around key industry issues, and significantly enhancing revenues, reserves and the value PMI provides to its members. She also led the charge toward developing new member services, strong engagement with the PMI Board of Directors and PMI committees, prodigious partnerships, and advances in government relations and advocacy to limit regulatory oversight.
