I recently reviewed my LinkedIn Profile and noticed that my PMP credential there was expired. This issue was concerning because I didn’t want anyone to think I had let it lapse. I work hard to ensure that I have enough PDUs to renew each year, as all of us do, and I want it to show on my LinkedIn Profile. I soon realized that I hadn’t updated that entry since Credly acquired Acclaim. If you are unaware of PMI’s digital badge program, you can click on the link and read about it. A quick summary is that Credly, a digital credential network, manages the program. They allow you to share your digital certificate on social media, email, and websites. Embedding the credential this way into your LinkedIn profile will enable it to be automatically updated by PMI and Credly when renewed. The issue I had is my entry was from Acclaim and didn’t update. When I checked Credly, it was showing expired as well. They had not received my renewal info from PMI. I was able to email PMI badge support, and they fixed it the next day. I updated my profile with the link to Credly, and everything is now up to date. If you’re not using the digital badge program, you should. It’s free as part of your membership and lets others know about the certification you worked so hard to obtain.

The chapter is still accepting nominations for the upcoming board election this year. If you or someone you know is interested, please fill out a nomination form here, and the election committee will reach out to you.

We have a lot of events on the calendar and some great collaborations that will be announced soon for the fall.

If you haven’t attended a PMI Chapter Xchange event, you should sign up for the one next Friday. The topic is Project Management for Supply Chain Management, and one of our members will be a panelist this month. It’s a timely topic and something that is affecting all projects.
