Continued on page 7
As attendees enjoyed a seated dinner, the
winners were called to the stage. Here is
information on who were “the best of the
best” this year:
2014 PMI
Project of the Year Award
This award recognizes the
accomplishments of a project and the
project team for superior performance
and execution of exemplary project
gala event held just prior to PMI®
Global Congress 2014—North
America was the setting for honor-
ing the best projects and leading practitio-
ners in the world, as selected by volunteer
judges. Also honored were literature au-
thors, training programs and organizations,
and contributions to the community.
The ceremony was almost upstaged by a
transformer fire and subsequent power
failure in the hotel housing the event and
many congress attendees. PMI President
and CEO Mark A. Langley acknowledged
the resilience of PMI staff—and a risk management plan—for the success in transferring the ceremony to a different venue on
half-day’s notice.
