Q1 2026 Message from the President

Dear Central Ohio PMI Members,

Happy New Year! As we begin this new chapter together, I am both honored and excited to step into the role of President of the Central Ohio PMI Chapter.

The start of a new year always brings fresh energy, new possibilities, and the opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re headed. Our chapter continues to thrive because of the dedication, passion, and professionalism of our members, volunteers, and board leaders.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jenna Livingston for her wonderful year of service as our President in 2025. Her leadership, commitment, and dedication to our chapter have made a meaningful impact, and I am grateful for the strong foundation she has helped build.
