There was an issue where I believe we were told that the room was reserved for us today but when I arrived, I discovered that they did not have us reserved. I was able to get us into the Auditorium for our meeting today. I apologize to those that tried to attend and may have left when told we weren't meeting there. I would ask that you please wait until a board member shows up or at least until 11:45 so if there is an issue we have time to correct it. This is the first room scheduling issue we have experienced in a long time. I do believe it was complicated by moving our meeting out a week due to our speaker's availability.

Location: Columbus Main Library Auditorium 3000 Macon Road. Lunch (on your own) and networking at 11:30am, the program begins at 12 noon. Our guest speaker will be our very own Immediate Past Present Alison Mills-Long. Alison's Topic: "Stop Sabotaging Your Own Projects". "Are you your own worst stakeholder? If you complain about things like unresponsive team members or aggressive due dates then you are only contributing to your demise. The effect of the current economic environment on companies in a variety of industries is far reaching and results in increased stress levels of already strained resources trying to "do more with less." It's easy to fall into a mode of negativity given the challenging situations we all find ourselves in. You already know how your words and actions affect others, but did you realize your thoughts do too? Learn what the self-help/metaphysical gurus as well as the scientific communities say about how this actually works and then how to use your words and thoughts more effectively to promote more positive outcomes." Alison has over 19 years experience in project management in the financial services industry. She worked with TSYS for just over 10 years managing bankcard compliance, billing statement redesign and software development projects for clients such as Bank of America, Sears and Nordstrom. Her last position with TSYS was as Associate Director in TS2 Customer Contact Systems. Alison is currently a vice president and BankCard Services Project Office Manager for BB&T Financial, FSB. In her current position, Alison's responsibilities include the oversight of new bankcard product launches, acquisition activities including portfolio conversions, and compliance projects. She earned her B.A. degree from Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia. Alison is a Project Management Institute (PMI) certified Project Management Professional (PMP(r)) as well as an American Society for Quality (ASQ) Certified Manager of Quality/Operational Excellence (CMQ/OE). She has been a member of PMI since 1995 and is a founding member of the PMI Columbus, GA Chapter which chartered in October 1996. Since the founding of the chapter, she has served as vice president of Communications & Publicity as well as Chapter President up until her current position as Immediate Past President. Alison is also a member of the American Society for Quality. She is also an instructor for Continuing Education and The Cunningham Center for Leadership Development at Columbus State University in Columbus, GA and volunteers for Columbus Hospice. Alison's approach to project management is about keeping the process simple and ensuring the scope of each request includes realistic, attainable goals. Applying soft skills to head off potential conflicts and promoting a spirit of teamwork is what she deems critical to the success of any project. Please show your support - Columbus PMI Jacqueline D.
