"My experience with BDI has really been fantastic. I think my involvement with BDI has definitely promoted my career because it not only changed how my career is perceived from the outside, but also how I perceive it from the inside. As a global volunteer leader on the Next Gen Insight Team, I no longer identify myself only by the job that I have but realize that I can be so much more. "
Madeleine Schulz
Project Manager at PTC
"It’s been really amazing so far, I have evolved and grown more in my career as a BDI volunteer than as a PMP certificate holder. Being in the organization, speaking with like minds, working on global and local initiatives to change lives has proved beyond impactful and I’ll love to continue this for as long as I can."
