5 NOTABLE AND OUTSTANDING ACTIVITIES OF THE YEAR
For the first time following public demand PMI Kenya, together with the usual indoor activities particularly monthly speaker events, also incorporated other outdoor events to include a mix of events. We present a highlight of 5 activities that were outstanding during the period.
Team Building
In March 2019 the Nairobi Sports Club was the destination for the team building retreat facilitated by The River Tree Company Ltd.
The team was comprised of very energetic and lively team members. Participants were rather
laid back at first with some being there for the first time. This dynamic mix of different age
groups and professions formed a rich mix of both skill, energy and experience and hence the
success of the retreat.
The debrief sessions were very engaging and participants were eager to share the learning of the
team building activities.
The team appeared keen to deal with their faults and were open to one another.
There was also a lot of open and honest communication noted among participants and the level of
professionalism was pretty impressive. Needless to say that this event left members yearning for more and more.
Westlands Stages Cleanup
On Saturday 6th July 2019. 23 members showed up in support of the cleanup initiative dubbed “Taka Langu, Jukumu Langu” (My Litter, My Responsibility).
We took part in the clean up alongside the Nairobi County Kileleshwa Ward team led by Ward Administrator Esther and the matatu and business operators at the Westlands Stages.
Angel’s Centre Visit
PMI members visited Angel’s Centre for Abandoned Children as part of PMI’s pledge goal for its 50th Anniversary and Global Celebration of Service which is part of an overall expansion of the association’s Made Possible campaign harnessing the passion of project professionals around the world to drive social change.
As part of PMI’s year-long Global Celebration of Service, professionals from around the globe are contributing their project management expertise to enable local organizations and strengthen their communities.
Volunteers Orientation Program
On the 12th of October 2019 at the serene Convent International Guest House in Lavington, for the first time since the inauguration of PMI Kenya Chapter we held the volunteers’ orientation program.
We must admit that everything there was on point from the choice of venue to the program facilitation without forgetting the sumptuous meals. All those who attended were issued with certificates.
September Speaker Event
With pomp and colour members flocked the Panafric Hotel in their numbers for the September speaker event.
The aura was filled with much enthusiasm and expectation and sure enough the day’s speaker talking about “Servant Leadership in the Organizational Context” did not disappoint.
This event went down in history as the most attended speaker event, from an average of 40 to slightly over 70 attendees.
