Personal Responsibilities and Obligations
Last Revised: August 29, 2023
WELCOME TO OUR BLOG:
This blog is intended to serve as a discussion center for project managers of all kinds, and to be open to a wide variety of ideas and thinking. ASVPM.org is the primary author and responsible for establishing the initial blog topics for discussion. However, any view expressed here is solely that of the individual who wrote it, and only he or she is responsible for its content. Views expressed here do not represent the policies or positions of ASVPM.org.
People wishing to participate will need to register with us and login (below) to post a comment.
Also, blogs are by their nature, open, direct and often free-wheeling. Some individuals may post comments that you may deem to be misleading, inaccurate or even offensive. While the blogs are moderated, we will not control the content of every comment. We’re also not responsible or liable for other web sites and resources posted by bloggers.
We respectfully request that you not engage in business solicitations or any postings that would be deemed to be offensive and stick to the spirit of the site: to help others survive and thrive in a very tough field, and to do so in the spirit of a collaborative community.
Please read the following agreement carefully before signing on.
