SPECIAL EVENT DURING THE LEADERSHIP SHOWCASE
" SILENT AUCTION"

This fun event is a highlight of the Showcase, providing attendees a closer look at other PMI components. PMI components from around the world are asked to donate an item that defines their geographic area or specific area of interest. The items are displayed for bidding and the highest bid wins. The proceeds are used for future PMI Leadership Institute Meetings. Auction items can be dropped off at a designated table outside of registration on Thursday and Friday morning prior to the event. Information on how, where and when to donate will be provided.
