In June 2023, Evelyn Chao, founder and president of PM Ready, introduced the new initiative PM Ready to Rep. John Mica, who served in the House of Representatives from 1993 to 2017, at Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.

In their conversation about the connection between project management and civic engagement, Rep. Mica praised PM Ready's goals of inspiring and empowering youth to contribute positively to their communities. Equipping youth with project management can enable youth to turn their innovative ideas into meaningful projects that can benefit society.
