Growth, Connection & Shared Purpose

Dear,

September brings both fresh beginnings and ongoing milestones for PMI Belgium. From evolving our membership model to preparing for the upcoming BeNeLux Summit, this month is all about connection, change, and impact.

In this edition, you’ll discover opportunities to join our vibrant volunteer community, explore the collaboration between product and project management, and revisit inspiring initiatives like The Great Walk and our partnership with VDAB. Each story shows how project management extends beyond theory: it builds bridges, uplifts communities, and empowers people made of potential.

As the season shifts, may these stories inspire you to take your own next step, whether in learning, leading, or giving back.

Warm regards,

Edi Venturin
Director of Marketing & Communication, PMI Belgium

Stories That Move Us

This month’s newsletter highlights how project management comes alive through people and their choices.

From Anja’s reflections on change and leadership, to Maria Rôbè’s inspiring relaunch of our Mentoring Program, to Giuseppe’s look at 35 years of impact from the PMI Educational Foundation, we see how ideas transform into action.

The Great Walk remains a vivid reminder of this spirit. I had the privilege to walk alongside Toby from Antwerp to Brussels, 38 kilometers of solidarity, challenge, and humility. Though I didn’t complete the marathon-long route that day, I plan to return and finish the journey, a personal step that mirrors our community’s commitment to persistence and purpose.

You’ll also find practical opportunities to get involved: from training job seekers with VDAB, to supporting our volunteers, to preparing for industry-shaping events like the BeNeLux Summit and the cross-sharing day in R&D project management. And don’t miss the new episodes of PM Untold, where collaboration and future trends take the spotlight. One of these articles even holds a little extra perk for Summit participants, worth a closer look.

Together, these stories show that our profession is more than methods; it’s a movement built by people who choose to walk, learn, and lead forward.
