Frank Clemente PMILIC PMP/CAPM Preparation Grant Program

Program Summary:

Frank Clemente was a long time Board Member of the Long Island Chapter of the Project Manager Institute (“PMILIC”), serving in various positions; most recently as a Strategic Advisor, even after relocating to North Carolina.  Frank was also the President and Owner of Total Systems Education, LTD, one of PMILIC’s valued sponsors and partners.  Frank was a tireless advocate and supporter of Project Managers, of all skill levels, that were unemployed or underemployed.  Sadly, Frank passed away in 2018.
