A Word From Our President, Kimia Penton - September 2026
Dear PMI Dallas Community,
Happy September! I hope the back-to-school season and return to post-summer routines are going smoothly.
As we move into fall, I'm especially excited to welcome our community back together. Many of the programs that shifted to virtual formats during the summer will return to in-person and hybrid experiences this fall and through the end of the year. While virtual programming gives us wonderful flexibility, there is something special about being in the same room, learning together, reconnecting with familiar faces, and forming new relationships.
We have several important September dates to keep on your calendar:
- September 12 – Hybrid Breakfast Meeting in Plano
- September 17 – In-Person Dinner Meeting at Brookhaven Country Club
- September 26 – Professional Development Day at UNT Frisco
Our Professional Development Day on September 26 is one of the highlights of our programming this year. It will be a full day of professional development, PDUs, meaningful connections, and community building. Registration is filling quickly, so if you're planning to attend, I encourage you to secure your spot soon.
Additional happy hour and coffee & community events will be announced soon so please continue to review our calendar for updates.
A heartfelt thank-you to our incredible lineup of speakers and to the volunteers working behind the scenes to make these experiences possible. Your time, talent, and commitment are truly valued and appreciated. Our chapter is stronger because of you.
I also want to share an important leadership opportunity: nominations for the PMI Dallas Board of Directors are currently open. If you have a passion for service, leadership, and making an impact within our professional community, I encourage you to consider running for the Board. Please visit our website for nomination details or reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
One of the greatest strengths of PMI Dallas is our community, the knowledge we share, the relationships we build, and the ways we invest in one another's growth. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you in person this fall and finishing the year together with energy, connection, and purpose.
Warmly,
Kimia Penton
President, PMI Dallas Chapter
