&lt;strong&gt;August 10-13, 2021 | Virtual&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;FMI&amp;rsquo;s world-class Project Manager Academy program has been redesigned for a virtual environment. This online experience covers the same core content of FMI&amp;rsquo;s Project Manager Academy and features interactive discussions and personal feedback. FMI&amp;rsquo;s Virtual Project Manager Academy is built around three core themes: profitable customer relationship development, financial control of projects, and planning of projects for profits and customer satisfaction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Throughout the Virtual Project Manager Academy experience, project managers and staff examine themselves, their organizations and their processes, learning how to transform themselves from talented builders into true project leaders. Attendees will participate in small-group discussions and work together in collaborative teams.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pricing&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;ndash; $4,400&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WACA Members get a discount rate. Contact Sherry Hadnot at sherry@wallandceiling.org for the discount code.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
