Peter F. Meyers, PMP, is among the first to achieve the Project Management Institute’s newly establishedRisk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) certification. The PMI-RMP certification, only available since the summer of 2008, was instituted by PMI in recognition of the importance and special qualifications needed to be a project risk management professional. According to the PMI, “Pressures to complete projects on accelerated schedules and the call for innovations to stay ahead of the competition are among the reasons why qualified risk management professionals are needed on project management teams.” Over the past three years Pete Meyers has been serving in various project management capacities involving risk management supporting several of AEGIS’s clients, including the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
