Board of Directors
The PMI Educational Foundation is led by a ten member Board of
Directors – five of whom are appointed by the PMI Board of Directors,
four of which are elected by the Foundation’s Board, and one non-voting
member. The Board of Directors is composed of project management practitioners,
public interest representatives, plus academic and industry professionals.
All board members are volunteers and normally serve a three-year term.
The Board of Directors meets a minimum of twice a year and a maximum
of four times a year to:
- govern the Educational Foundation
- determine the strategic directions of the Educational Foundation
- monitor the Educational Foundation’s performance
- award financial grants

The governance model used by the Foundation is a hybrid of the approaches
presented in:
- Extraordinary Board Leadership by Doug Eadie
- Reinventing Your Board by John Carver and Miriam Mayhew Carver
|
The Foundation is committed to a governance
structure based on predetermined and agreed upon values and
vision for the future, the prioritization of programs to
ensure the maximum benefit from limited resources,
and leadership in strategic matters. |
