What Participants are Saying About the Workshops
100% of workshop participants strongly agree or agree that their workshop taught them practical and effective project management methods and tools applicable to emergency management.
“I was looking for PM4EM to help strengthen my project management skills. We often manage projects but learn these skills through experience rather than formal project management training, which results in being less efficient. Even though there is now software to help manage projects, understanding and walking through the project management process remains critical. The course provides tools that can improve project execution/efficiency. I would recommend the course to colleagues involved in project management within emergency management.”
- Lt. Gregory M. Godish Assistant Bureau Chief, Incident Support Bureau, Emergency Management Section Homeland Security Branch, New Jersey State Police

Stuck between good intentions and actually getting things done?
Most emergency managers were never taught project management.
You learned incident command.
You learned planning frameworks for a CEMP, EOP, and for HSEEP compliant exercises.
You learned grants compliance.
More than likely, nobody guided you on how to engage key stakeholders, develop an integrated project plan with an aligned scope, schedule and budget (quality, risk, HR/Comms plans etc.), and manage stakeholder expectations and team workflows through to successful project completion.
The Project Management for Emergency Managers (PM4EM) Workshop provides a project management framework, methods and tools that work in the operational reality of how emergency managers actually work — grant-funded projects, multi-agency coordination, deliverables tied to fiscal years, and managing a diverse group of stakeholders from elected officials to project partners to the public.
PM4EM workshops engage you in work on real emergency management projects. Every activity transfers directly to grants and projects you're already managing. From the time you enter the classroom (online or in-person), we hit the ground working on your projects, and you leave with practical skills and a draft project plan to begin with back at work.
