This Memorial Day, PMI Southern Nevada pauses to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
Their courage, dedication, and selfless service continue to inspire us as project managers, leaders, and community members. The values they embodied — leadership, resilience, teamwork, and commitment to a greater purpose — are values we strive to carry into our work and service every day.
Today, we remember and honor those who gave everything for our freedom. Let us never forget.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our Military and Veterans Social! We had a great turnout and it was amazing to see so many active duty service members, veterans, military spouses, employers, and community members come together to connect and share their experiences.

The conversations, support, and networking throughout the evening really showed the strength of the military-connected community here in Southern Nevada. We’re excited to keep building relationships with professionals who are passionate about leadership, project management, and making a positive impact.

Thank you again to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success. We’re looking forward to the next one!

Career ambition and motherhood are often seen as being in conflict, but this multi-chapter virtual event challenges that idea and reframes it entirely.

We will explore what it means to move beyond work-life balance into strategic life integration, where career and family are managed with the same intentional structure. Using practical project management tools, we will look at ways to reduce the mental load, organize household responsibilities, and create more clarity and balance in everyday life.

We’re joined by Dr. Syreeta Rios, DBA, PMP, a seasoned project management expert with 20 years of experience working with organizations like Apple and Barclays Bank. She is a consultant, author, and speaker who helps professionals apply project management principles to both leadership and life design.

Join us virtually to earn PDUs, gain practical tools, and rethink how you approach both career success and personal fulfillment.

April is National Stress Awareness Month, a great reminder for project managers to check in with themselves just as much as their timelines.

In a role where deadlines, shifting priorities, and constant communication are the norm, stress can build up quickly if it’s not managed intentionally. The key isn’t eliminating stress altogether it’s learning how to handle it in a way that keeps you steady and effective.

A few simple ways to manage stress during busy projects:

• Be realistic with planning. Not everything is urgent, and small buffers can make a big difference when things shift.

• Set boundaries during your day. Step away for a walk, silence notifications for focused work, or actually take your lunch break.

• Lean on your team. Delegating and communicating early can prevent last-minute pressure.

• Break work into smaller wins. Big projects feel less overwhelming when you focus on one step at a time.

• Do a quick reset between meetings. Even a minute to breathe or stretch can help you refocus.

• Acknowledge progress. It’s easy to focus on what’s left, but recognizing what’s done can shift your mindset.

Stress will always be part of project management—but how you respond to it can make all the difference.

How do you usually manage stress during a busy project?

“Will AI replace me?” It’s a question a lot of project managers are asking—but it’s not the right one. A better question is: what makes you irreplaceable in an AI-driven world?

AI is powerful when it comes to data, patterns, and routine tasks, but only if you set it up correctly. This session will walk through how to make that happen, from handling the grunt work to generating better options and building simple tools you can use on the fly.

Led by Bob McGannon, a seasoned leader with 30+ years of experience (including IBM), this is a great opportunity on April 20th at 6pm to get a real-world perspective on where AI fits into project management.

If you’ve been wondering how to actually use AI in your work, not just talk about it than this is worth checking out and what great is its virtual!
