Some news worth sharing: Rhealyn Mugri, Founder and Training Director of Regeneration, School of Sustainable Projects, has been named one of three finalists for Project Professional of the Year at the Ireland Chapter of PMI National Project Awards 2026.
The National Project Awards mark their tenth year in 2026, celebrating the projects and professionals shaping how work gets delivered across Ireland. Rhealyn stands on the shortlist alongside Trevor Cuthbertson and Patrick Sweeney, with the winner announced at the awards night in October.
A second year on the national shortlist
The nomination follows her place as a national finalist in the same category in 2025: two years running on the shortlist for a practice built around one idea. Projects should be delivered in a way that leaves the people, communities and resources they touch better than it found them.
What this means for the school
Regeneration exists because recognition should follow the people doing the work. The same belief runs through everything the school does: learners who have carried projects for years earn certified proof through CSPP™ training, deliver live non-profit work through the Pro Bono Lab, and present the results at the Project Showcase. A founder on a national shortlist and a learner presenting their first certified project are points on the same line.
The full list of finalists across nine categories, from eHealth to Project Management for Social Good, is on the Ireland Chapter of PMI website. Congratulations to every finalist: the shortlist reads like a map of where Irish project management is heading, and sustainable delivery is firmly on it.
Autumn cohorts run October to November, online, with the next Project Showcase following in November. Explore the courses or secure a place in the next cohort.
