“Community Outreach and

Volunteering Your

Professional Skills."

by Roger Duke, PMP

BNG America

Roger Duke began his career at Savannah River Site in 1977 as a Project

Engineer. During his 31 years at SRS, he mostly held positions in project

and program management. Four years ago, his company, BNFL, changed

its name to BNG America. Roger was responsible for developing and

implementing a branding campaign in the Augusta area. BNG America was

later acquired by EnergySolutions and Roger continued the campaign, but

now for EnergySolutions.

 

As part of the marketing strategy, Roger became heavily involved with

nonprofit organizations by being on their boards and also volunteering for

special events. He quickly discovered that nonprofits are great at coming up

with plans, but generally have trouble executing them.

 

Roger, a certified project manager, implemented a community outreach

initiative with the SR Chapter of Project Management Institute. The objective

was to help nonprofits complete challenging projects by capitalizing on the

chapter’s expertise in project management. Roger will share his experiences

on two projects; the Imperial Theatre Marquee and the James Brown Statue

Cam and how organizations, like PMI and AACE can market themselves in

the community by helping nonprofits.
