Attention all PMAC members! We are currently seeking PMAC members who will volunteer their time to read a project management book and complete an evaluation form before the end of November 2011. The books are drawn from the submissions to the 2011 Canadian Project Management Book Awards.

If you are interested in receiving a FREE project management book to review, please send an email to president@pmac-agpc.ca with your name, address, and phone number. Put "Volunteer Book Reviewer" in the email subject line. You will be contacted by phone and offered a choice of the remaining books to review.

This offer is only open to PMAC members in good standing (i.e. membership has not expired) and whose mailing address is located in Canada. Due to prohibitive costs, we will not be shipping books overseas for review.
