  4. Josh — Congratulations are in order for the updated and very much improved PMBA 2007. I am very happy that the community is growing and getting stronger. If there is anything you need just ask. FYI — I am still checking the LinkedIn PMBA group for new members. I was hoping that LinkedIn would move the admin function over to you. :) Maybe we can try it again and ask pretty please this time.
