PMI’s Leadership Institute is a cohesive program that offers varying types of learning. It is composed of three elements designed to help you enhance your leadership skills, while providing the structure and flexibility you need to ensure you reach development milestones:

Leadership Institute Meetings

Leadership Institute Meetings offer face-to-face opportunities to connect with and learn from fellow volunteer leaders. Designed to inspire and support you as you advance your skills, the meetings take place four times a year, immediately prior to PMI^® global congresses.

At the meetings, global leaders collaborate in productive, curriculum-driven educational sessions. Professional Development Units (PDUs) can be earned for formal learning activities related to project management.

Who is Eligible?

Participation in Leadership Institute Meetings is open to volunteer leaders of PMI chapters and virtual communities.

What is the PMI Leadership Institute Master Class?

The PMI Leadership Institute Master Class is a year-long learning initiative designed to provide intensive training, development and support for a limited group of participants.

Who is Eligible?

Individuals who have PMI volunteer experience and leadership skills that meet or exceed the criteria outlined below.   

The Experienced Volunteer Leader Level:
This level of learning is defined as individuals who wish to exercise leadership by working in a lead position over a large, diverse, and self-motivated group. Roles at this level transition from tactical leadership to leading through strategic direction setting and alignment with others rather than individually producing results 

Examples of volunteer serving at this level of leadership are: elected PMI community leaders project leads or deputies on large PMI institutional projects, members of PMI Member Advisory Groups, Component Mentors, Presidents and Chairs or Officers of a large component.

What will participants experience?

The PMI LIMC experience includes the following elements;  

·         Participant Evaluations:  LIMC participants will complete a 3600 Assessment that will provide them with insight and evaluation of the individual.  Additional psychometric tools and assessments will also be incorporated into the program.   

·         Leadership Institute Master Class Seminars:  Over the course of a year participants meet face-to-face three times and engage in activities focused on leadership techniques, management practices and other key skills applicable to volunteer, career and interpersonal development.  In alignment with the Leadership Institute competency framework, participants will have the opportunity to focus on providing a fuller understanding of nonprofit organization functions, including governance, legal requirements, and volunteer development. 

·         Coaching:  Individual coaching sessions will be provided to each participant.  In addition there will be opportunities to engage in ongoing coaching and mentoring with session facilitators, fellow classmates, and other volunteer leaders in applying and sharing skills and information throughout the course. 

·         Virtual Leadership Forums:  Participants are provided with an ongoing and open forum for continued learning and discussion between the face to face meetings. 

Applications for the 2011 PMI Leadership Institute Master Classes of 2011 will be available in October 2009.
