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. Jeremy Hill is the Director of the Center for Economic Development and Business Research. He came to Wichita State University from Georgia Southern University, where he was the director of the Coastal Rivers Water Planning and Policy Center. Hill has over twenty years of experience in applied business and economic research and is often quoted by local and state media across Kansas. In 2014, Jeremy was recognized by the Wichita Business Journal with the honor of “40 under 40”, and in 2016 was named one of “50 Kansans You Should Know” by Ingram’s, a Kansas City business magazine. Hill has served in several leadership capacities, including past director and president of the Association for University Business and Economic Research, a national professional organization of regional centers across the United States. Jeremy leads the CEDBR in its mission to provide accurate, reliable information and analysis to inform decision-making in the public and private sectors. The center provides market research, fiscal and impact analyses, and employment forecasts for regional and state economies. Jeremy has also contributed to innovative research, analysis and planning in collaborative ventures across Kansas. His research focus has been on business analysis, community development, as well as workforce, tourism and retirement dynamics.
