Analysis. Yet still, over half of our membership is from the private sector. Many of our members are transitioning from their active duty military careers to working as private citizens and look to PMI Olympia for guidance in preparation to working as Project, Program, Portfolio Managers and Business In addition to evolving services and programs for members, PMI Olympia has also had great success in past years providing opportunities for our dedicated partners. We have a proven track record of delivering great value and return on investment for our sponsor partners and we re committed to doing even more. To that end, we re excited to continue the partnership program to provide sponsors and partners unprecedented access to marketing and sponsorship benefits across Chapter activities and events.

With significant emphasis placed on professional development and growth, the annual Instant Impact Conference offers a unique forum for Project Management Professionals to take in relevant and often leading-edge education to support advanced knowledge and performance in their tool kits. The opportunity to network at this event fosters many intangible benefits including problemsolving, perspective building, empathy, shared learning, and best practices. Since inception in 2014, the format of the event has grown throughout the years to now include a themed annual event which is fully supported by all our sponsors who actively participate in the annual themes, a sophisticated sponsorship program, and one full day of industry-leading educational and networking opportunities. 2017 will mark the 13th year anniversary of our chapter and we are excited to make the 14th better than ever with new programs and offerings for our members and partners.
