Η Rita Mulcahy, ιδρυτής της RMC Project Management, έχασε την μάχη με την επάρατη νόσο στις 15/5/2010!
Η Rita Mulcahy, 50 ετών, έχασε τελικά στις 15/5/2010 την μάχη με την επάρατη νόσο μετά από 5 χρόνια συνεχούς πάλης με την νόσο. Πίσω της άφησε τον σύζυγό της Tim και τα δύο τους παιδιά ηλικίας 5 και 7 ετών.
Έχοντας την τιμή να την γνωρίσω προσωπικά όταν με φιλοξένησε στο σπίτι της στην Minneapolis το 2007, νιώθω βαθύτατα συντετριμμένος με την απώλεια ενός πρωτοπόρου σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο στον τομέα της εκπαίδευσης και πιστοποίησης σε Project Management. Η παγκόσμια κοινότητα του project management οφείλει πολλά στην Rita που έγινε διάσημη με το μοναδικό υλικό προετοιμασίας (PMP Exam Prep System) για την πιστοποίηση PMP.

Press release by RMC Project:
RMC Founder Rita Mulcahy Loses Five Year Battle with Breast Cancer!
Rita Mulcahy, Founder of RMC Project Management and the best-selling project management author of all-time, passed away on Saturday, May 15th 2010, from complications related to a five-year battle with Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC). She was 50. Rita leaves behind husband Tim Mulcahy, current Vice-President and Chief Legal Counsel for RMC, and two children, ages 7 and 5.
Rita was diagnosed with Stage 4 Inflammatory Breast Cancer in September of 2005, just days before two scheduled speaking appearances at PMI Global Congress in Toronto, Ontario. Given only months to live, Rita spent the next five years privately fighting her disease with a continuous regimen of both Western and Holistic treatments. During that time she continued to work, authoring five more best-selling books—including one with Fortune 100 leader Cisco Press—and delivering classes and keynote speeches across the globe. She also spent a great deal of time growing her business, and over the last five years watched RMC expand its training and product distribution to nearly 50 regions worldwide.
After her diagnosis, Rita worked feverishly to build RMC into one of the fastest-growing training organizations in the industry. Today, her thriving company is filled with some of the most sought-after experts in the fields of instructional design and delivery, learning development, and educational technology. Going forward, the Management Team at RMC will continue to leverage Rita's marketing-leading methodologies and learning techniques to develop more award-winning products, classes and e-learning courses in Project Management and numerous other related disciplines.
Even though Rita is no longer with us on a day-to-day basis, her unique and highly effective teaching style will live on through the hundreds of thousands of products and courses RMC delivers worldwide each year. In 2010, the Project Management industry lost its most passionate leader, advocate and friend. We will feel her loss every single day.
