October was a busy month for the Turkish Project Management Community; presentations, project activities and preparations for future events took off, as follows :

PMI Turkey

PMI TURKEY put on two hosted presentations on PMO's, on what is new in PM Training, and on earning PDU points for PMP's. The number of Turkish PMP's has exceeded 700, and more are coming. PMI TURKEY is providing a much-needed service to the Turkish PMP's by holding sessions to help them claim their rightful PDU's and retain their hard-earned PMP status. Attendance has been setting records for events of this nature in Turkey.
