Together, We Achieve More

As 2025 draws to a close, we want to thank you for the commitment and enthusiasm you have shown throughout the year. Every contribution, large or small, strengthens our chapter and reinforces the spirit of collaboration that sets PMI Belgium apart.

With the Board elections currently open, we also want to take a moment to thank our outgoing Board members, Pierre Van Leemput and Piotr Zamisnii, for their contributions and service to the chapter.

You make this a superpower community. It grows through connection, learns through shared experiences, and thrives through volunteer energy. A special word of appreciation goes to the volunteers who help shape our chapter every day, including the Professional Development community guided by Paolo Alagna, the Membership team led by Tim Gaens, and my Marketing and Communication team supported by Jana Nastari. Your work inspires us all.

With the holiday season approaching, we wish you moments of rest, inspiration, and connection with the people who matter to you. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and stepping into 2026 together, inspired, energized, and ready for new opportunities.

Until next time,

Edi Venturin
Director of Marketing and Communication
