I have been employed at Xerox for more than 21 years involved in Program and Project Management. The last 12 years as a regional Engineering Manager (REM) supporting unique custom solutions. My role as REM includes management of various facets of the custom projects from uncovering customer needs, gathering/documenting customer requirements, translating these requirements into engineering specs, implementation planning, installation and training.
I have a BS in Computer Information Systems (2002) and a MS in Information Management (2005). I have PMP (2009) and EDP Certification (1982). EDP Certification is Electronic Document Professional Certification, an industry designation awarded to qualified individuals who have demonstrated broad knowledge of and experience in digital communication - whether in print, over networks, or online from document creation to distribution.

Candidate Statement: Elizabeth
A.
McQueen, PMP
Current/previous experience: VP of
Records Management, 2010-2011; AVP of Records Management, 2009; Process
Definition Committee Chair under Communications operational area, 2008
As AVP and then VP of Records Management, I have focused on initiatives that serve PMIWDC’s long range strategic objectives. I have worked to implement the disciplined management of our records, including: adhering to a consistent file naming convention, consistent documentation of processes, and the development of the chapter’s Process Asset Library (PAL). In 2008, I delivered a Leadership Session entitled “Governance Transition: Developing Well-Defined Processes for Continuity.” The effort I have led to define and document the chapter’s repeatable processes has yielded success in the transition of new board members, and it has paved the way for volunteers to more easily gain experience in multiple operational areas. Additionally, my team began a project this year to institute the collection and monthly reporting of metrics to further our goals and continuously improve our services to our members. If elected, I will continue to bring the same strategic focus in serving on the Governance Board that I brought to the Operations Board.
DALs are ambassadors of the chapter who promote project management professionalism. I have been playing this role as an instructor for the Project Management Certificate program at Northern VA Community College (NOVA) and for PMIWDC / NOVA co-branded Advanced PM Seminars, as well as on my contract teaching DHS Level 1 Program Manager certification courses, and via speaking at chapter luncheons.
Additional Comments:
It has been my honor and my privilege to work with the board of this chapter for the last 3 years. The members of the board are exceptionally savvy, engaged, and disciplined in their sincere and ongoing efforts to improve our service to our members, and I am proud to be affiliated with such an esteemed group of individuals. (I always leave PMIWDC board meetings wishing that more meetings I attend for which people are being PAID to be there were as well run and productive!)
Candidate Statement: Mike
Nelson
Current/previous experience: Luncheon
Venue Chairman for Fairview Park Luncheon January 2005 - December 2010;
AVP Local Communities 2009 - Present
I spoke with many attendees over the years and actively solicited feedback on how we were doing. With this information, I engaged continuous improvement approaches to the Fairview Park luncheons. One consistent theme was the difficulty for individuals to attend a lunchtime presentation due to work, traffic, or other factors. In response, I launched a portal on my company’s webpage (www.noblis.org/pmifairviewpark) to provide video recording of the past presentations, including a copy of corresponding slide deck and the PDU form for individuals to access at any time. Webtracking statistics demonstrated wide appeal of this new service which clearly broadened the positively impact of my luncheon.
My goal as Director-at-Large would be to find similar opportunities to positively impact the service from PMIWDC.
Personal Background:
I have a passion for process and service delivery improvement. I’m fortunate to have many occasions in my career to contribute in these types of engagements. I have twenty years experience leading project teams, deploying PMOs and integrating business process with business objectives.
My family is the most important part of my life. I have a wonderful wife, Ting, and we have two wonderful daughters Kaitlyn and Savannah. I coach my daughters year-round in Spring/Fall softball with Savannah and Winter/Summer basketball with Kaitlyn. I’m very proud of Kaitlyn who made the 2010 Seneca Ridge Middle School 6th grade travel team.
Additional Comments:
I strongly and personally believe in the value of our chapter. I have engaged in many conversations with people at my Fairview Park Luncheon venue, in my capacity of AVP of Local Communities, and meeting folks in the chapter’s monthly membership meetings. What I’ve learned is how critical and important the chapter is for people to learn, network, and give back to their profession. It’s been a wonderful experience working with the high performing, hard working volunteer community of PMIWDC. It’s equally satisfying seeing an individual obtain much needed information or support when they need it most. We have expanded a lot of services in PMIWDC in the recent years and many people utilize and find value in our offerings.
Additionally, the governance of our chapter has preserved an important element of ownership and control of the chapter direction with the membership. I believe this is a key reason why our chapter has thrived. There are very low barriers of entry to individuals who have a desire to contribute or learn about our chapter. This transparency and commitment to our ideals allows the organization to focus on the meaningful service aspects of our chapter. Regardless who the chapter membership elects for these leadership positions, I firmly believe it is this process of governance and sharing of leadership that keeps this chapter always moving forward. If I’m selected as Director-at-Large for the chapter, I will continue the spirit and letter of these noble objectives.

Candidate Statement: Charlene
Draine
Current/previous experience: Past
Board Member, Puget Sound chapter, Seattle, Washington. Held VP
Programs position September 2009 – September 2010.
I personally don’t want to disappoint them, but truly delight them with cutting-edge PM expertise that brings business vision to life. This Washington DC Chapter makes this opportunity available. Regional businesses rely on PMIWDC to supply collaborative opportunities that will mutually benefit business, our chapter, and its member body. I look forward to helping this chapter become a true change agent among these stakeholders!
My fascination with project management expertise heightens when I understand how PM skills transcend all industries. Establishing and maintaining consistency in our chapter’s presentation of/to businesses across industries will require expert contract negotiation and management. These are career skill I’ve mastered while initiating / monitoring contracts for the automotive industry and in my current position as a trainer/Coach for Cheetah Learning.
I have already enhanced the chapter’s business opportunities by demonstrating transparency and clarity in events for the upcoming October career conference. Attending each diner meeting and “PM in the AM” since relocating to DC in January helped me understand the WDC chapter audiences. Prospective businesses should feel just as encouraged and confident doing business with PMIWDC. I have a proposal for growth by leveraging cross-industry knowledge through enhanced contract negotiations for venues and programs, building relationships and maintaining industry connections on behalf of PMIWDC. Contract integrity will assist our chapter in becoming a well-known resource for hiring PM talent and learning new information.
Of course, any board position pivots on collaboration. I believe it will require every pair of ears on the Board to clearly hear all member suggestions – and let you know you’ve been heard. After all, if elected as a Board member, I will be providing a volunteer service to this chapter.
