E-mail news alerts regarding PMI research and/or education content and opportunities in project management and allied disciplines.

Access to PMI chapter resources. At your request, we will put you in touch with the right people at the PMI chapters, local organizations of project management practitioners that can support your teaching and students. PMI has more than 250 chapters all over the world. Chapters will help you access:

      • Subject matter experts, lecturers, adjunct faculty and academic advisors for developing your project management courses.
      • Mentoring and professional networking for your students.

Opportunity to participate in exclusive PMI educator workshops and meetings. Several times a year we hold workshops for educators teaching or interested in teaching project management. We will alert you of opportunities to participate in these exclusive events, and offer free workshop registration.
