International Project Management Day Today!

Today is officially “International Project Management Day” according to the IPMD website.  The site lists the rational for setting up such a day:

The international project management day (IPM day) is intended to encourage project based organizations worldwide or organizations who utilize project management methodologies to schedule some type of recognition event within their organizations or coordinated locally with others to truly demonstrate appreciation for the achievements of project managers and their teams.

This web site provides you with the contacts, information, and resources to help you plan your organizations IPM day and to help you get your area’s IPM day proclamation to help project managers in your area receive acknowledgement and appreciation for their work.

This is a nice acknowledgement to get for those who toil away on a daily basis managing projects.  Here’s a trailer for the event:

Happy International Project Management Day to all you PMs out there!
