WHAT YOU READ, WHAT YOU LOVED, & WHAT YOU MISSED.
2017 was a big year.
We hosted multiple BRMConnect Forums across the world. You attended—and what’s more, you learned how to develop a journey map for BRM success within your team.
Our third annual World BRMConnect Conference was a resounding success. You actively participated in your own professional success and journey to strategic partnership.
We expanded professional networking and engagement opportunities for all of our members. You earned your BRMP® and CBRM® certifications, collaborated with one another on our Online Campus, published articles as part of our BRM Contributor Network, led and joined our global Communities of Interest, continuously added value to your own organizations, and earned awards for doing so.
And over the course of the year, we published white papers, articles, reports, and announcements that changed the professional lives of thousands of BRMs worldwide.
You read. You commented. You downloaded. You shared.
But—if it wasn’t obvious already—you’ve been busy. We get it.
Maybe you’re looking for that one article you read back in July, but never found again. Maybe you want to catch up on what you missed when you were neck-deep in budget season. Or maybe you’re just looking for a good read during the holidays.
We got you.
