A Word From Our President, Kimia Penton - July 2026

Dear PMI Dallas Chapter Members

As we move through the summer season, I hope you're enjoying opportunities to spend meaningful time with family and friends and making the most of everything this season has to offer. Summer is always a wonderful time to reconnect with our communities, explore new experiences, and enjoy the relationships that matter most. I'm continually grateful to be part of such a vibrant PMI Dallas Chapter, where our members and volunteers create an environment of learning, collaboration, and support throughout the year.

A heartfelt thank you to our outstanding volunteers for organizing such a fantastic lineup of events throughout the summer. From our Networking Happy Hours, Coffee & Community gatherings, and breakfast meetings to our dinner events and engaging virtual sessions, your dedication has created meaningful opportunities for learning, connection, and collaboration. I'd also like to thank each of our members for your enthusiastic participation and engagement. It is your curiosity, generosity, and willingness to share your experiences that make every event valuable and continue to strengthen our professional community. As you plan your Fall calendar, don't forget to register early for our Professional Development Day on September 26 to take advantage of our Early Bird pricing. We have an exceptional lineup of keynote speakers, industry experts, and panel discussions planned, along with a full day of educational sessions designed to help you grow your skills while earning valuable PDUs.

As July begins, I encourage you to take time to rest, reflect, and recharge alongside your professional goals. The strongest leaders recognize the importance of pausing to gain perspective and reconnect with what matters most before taking on new opportunities. On behalf of our Board of Directors, thank you for being such an important part of the PMI Dallas community. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, joyful, and memorable Fourth of July and a wonderful month ahead. We look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events this summer and throughout the exciting months to come.

Sincerely,

Kimia Penton

President, PMI Dallas
