Chapters

After becoming a PMI member, you may join a local chapter, which can connect you with a local network of professional expertise. You also will receive support and opportunities to meet with peers from various industries through meetings, activities and educational programs. There are currently more than 250 chapters in more than 70 countries worldwide.

Virtual Communities

PMI’s new virtual communities are centered on member value and providing the global project management community with a rich knowledge base—all in one location.  Delivering knowledge to its members and becoming the go-to place or “one-stop shop” for project management information, tools, resources and knowledge is a top priority, and the new virtual communities are one way of achieving this goal for the benefit of our members and the profession as a whole.

The virtual communities will provide:

•  A global connection point for PMI members, and the greater PM community, to network, exchange and validate knowledge and ideas to more fully engage members.
•  Access to a wide range of sources, resources and tools.
•  Content and knowledge within a variety of topic, focus and motivation areas.
•  Increased opportunities to volunteer and take a leadership role.
•  Extend member reach and growth of the communities to more geographic regions.

Specific Interest Groups (SIGs)

SIGs help members with common interests and industries to come together and share ideas, challenges and concerns across geographical boundaries.

Through networking, developing technical papers, teleconferences and collaborative work on special projects, members have a unique opportunity to learn and grow. SIGs also hold at least one annual meeting, often in conjunction with one of PMI’s global congresses.

Colleges

If you are a member of PMI with a passion for one of the project management knowledge areas, or if you have a specific expertise, you may fit perfectly into one of PMI’s colleges.

Like a SIG, a PMI college has no distinct geographical location. Instead, it brings together individuals who have developed a formal approach to one of the areas within A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide). These individuals are committed to furthering this knowledge and making it available to the profession.
