PMI: Advice from Project Practitioners: How to Get Ahead

The PMI® Global Congress—held in Phoenix, Arizona in 2014—is an opportunity for the Project Management Institute to bring project practitioners and members together from around the world to learn, discuss and engage around their industry.

PM Network: 2014 PMI Project of the Year Award Finalist

The Energy Systems Integration Facility is a pretty little lab, whose sole purpose is to study and develop technologies that integrate renewable energy into the U.S.’s existing power grid. The lab was submitted to PMI’s annual Project of the Year Awards and became a finalist.

The five converted buildings (orange dots) aren’t the only historic churches in town. Some still function as churches (purple squares). Click the icons for images and a fun tidbit about these historic sites.

For this story, I plotted those houses on a map using Google Maps Engine. I also put out a call on social media, asking Lawrencians to submit photos of their decked out houses to add to the map as well:
