In loving memory of James R Snyder, we honor a remarkable individual whose legacy resonates
deeply within the Project Management Institute (PMI) community and beyond. James embodied the
very essence of leadership, integrity, and dedication, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the
privilege of knowing him.
As a passionate advocate for project management excellence, James's contributions to PMI were
immeasurable. His unwavering commitment to advancing the profession and empowering
practitioners worldwide defined his tenure and inspired countless individuals to reach new heights.
Through his visionary leadership and tireless efforts, James played a pivotal role in shaping PMI into
the globally respected organization it is today.
James's legacy in the field of project management extends far beyond his professional achievements.
In the late 1960s, when businesses had to work on complex projects, he came up with the idea of
sharing the experiences and challenges with professionals on a global scale.
In this time of reflection and remembrance, let us honor James's memory by embracing the values
he embodied: excellence, integrity, and compassion. May his spirit continue to guide and inspire us
