Building the Bridge: Veterans, PMI-CP, and the Future of Construction Leadership

Join PMI Silicon Valley and PMI-CP Global for a dynamic panel discussion exploring how military experience can translate into successful careers in project management, construction leadership, infrastructure, technology, consulting, and Owner PMO environments.

The panel brings together accomplished leaders with backgrounds in Navy nuclear engineering, Army strategic planning, Coast Guard engineering, Marine Corps communications, industrial construction, PMI chapter leadership, organizational transformation, and digital infrastructure.

Through moderated discussion, audience questions, and professional networking, participants will learn how capabilities developed through military and public service—including leadership, engineering, logistics, communications, mission planning, operational discipline, and change management—can be repositioned for civilian project and construction-management opportunities.

The session will also introduce the value of PMI membership, the PMP credential, and the PMI Construction Professional certification as tools for formalizing experience, strengthening professional credibility, and opening new career pathways.
