The Passing of a Project Management Pioneer

I just learned through a post on Rick Morris's Project Management That Works! blog that Rita Mulcahy (@Rita_Mulcahy), a pioneer in Project Management education, passed away on May 15th after a long struggle with breast cancer. Like so many others, I used Rita's materials to prepare for the PMP exam and followed her on Twitter.  Her obituary was published in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, but read the announcement posted on Rick Morris's blog about this incredible woman who was given several months to live after being diagnosed with cancer in 2005, but fought on for five more years, authoring five best-selling books, while delivering classes and keynote speeches around the globe, and continuing to grow her business.
