The Professional Development team at PMI-SAC has just announced an upcoming one-day advanced seminar to be held June 4th, 2012 entitled 'Expert Seminar on Agile Leadership with Mike Griffiths'.

The Chapter web site has recently unveiled a new section for articles related to project and program management.

Listed on the site under 'Services' and 'Articles', the section has a current listing of articles contributed by industry professionals and Chapter members alike.

Remember that reading articles related to the profession can contribute to your certification - for PMPs, under Category C 'Self-Directed Learning' for instance.
