Rose Elley: Career Development Forum Chair
The PMI Sacramento Valley Chapter thanks and recognizes you for your outstanding efforts and achievements as the Chair of the Career Development Forum.

PMI-SVC: How many years have you been volunteering for PMI-SVC? 
Rose: I moved to the PMI-Sacramento Chapter from the PMI-Denver Chapter in 2002. I started volunteering circa 2005 after graduating with my MBA from UC Davis and earning my PMP. I served on the PMI-SVC Board as VP Membership and VP Marketing. While VP Marketing, I founded the Career Development Forum with the exemplary assistance of Tom Carlos, for PMI-SVC members to specifically focus on career advancement while enabling rapid employment for those in career transition. 

Wow!! The networking & Career Expo was a huge success. Thank you to all who attended and making this a great event.
