Speaker Biography

In the profession of Project Management, Lee R. Lambert, PMP, PMI Fellow has established the standard against which others in the field are measured.   Throughout a fast-paced 18 year corporate career with Chicago Bridge & Iron, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, General Electric (Nuclear Reactor Division) and Battelle Memorial Institute--where he worked almost exclusively with engineers and scientists--he quickly ascended to senior management positions and was responsible for the development and implementation of ground-breaking, sophisticated Enterprise project management processes for Engineering, Medical Diagnostics and Research & Development.  In 1981, as a result of his pragmatic application of the PM methodologies, he was invited to be an integral part of the creation of the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification Program.  He is a recipient of the PMI’s Distinguished Contribution Award and was a member of the PMNetwork/PM Journal Editorial Review team for over a decade.  He also contributed as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the PMI’s Earned Value Management System (EVMS) Practice Standard.  Educated as a Mechanical Engineer, he is a holder of a Master’s Certificate in Project Management from George Washington University.  Lambert is a frequent lecturer in the prestigious Washington University’s Executive Roundtable series. His most recent professional recognition was being named one of only 70 PMI Fellows.  He also received one of the PMI’s highest honors for his ground breaking applied learning programs:  The Professional Development Provider of the Year 2007.   As an author of two books and 32 professional papers, no other project management educator/speaker can contend with his uncanny technical knowledge, material content and refreshing and entertaining delivery—his hard-hitting, but humorous style, has mesmerized more than 50,000 students in 23 countries.  Lee takes the saying; “Been there, done that, got the T-shirt” to a new level.

A message from PMICIE Leadership

We have made changes to our dinner meeting format by switching to virtual only format.   Several PMI Chapters and PMI Global have switched to virtual-only meetings. As of April 30, we have designated our chapter meetings as  Virtual/Web Conference meetings until further notice. 

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, we will re-evaluate the format of our upcoming meetings and determine the appropriate format as public health information and guidelines are updated.  We appreciate your continued support during this time.
