Nominations and Election of the PMI Board
Nominations and Election Governance
Annually the members of the Project Management Institute (PMI) will elect five individuals to serve on the PMI Board of Directors for three-year term and an official Call for Nominations for Open Positions on the PMI Board of Directors is published. The Call for Nominations provides valuable information on the nomination and election process including action items and timeline.
Board member duties are defined in the Bylaws of the Institute, Article VI, Section A, Board of Directors and the election process is governed by Section B. Directors of the Institute. Board service requires great effort and a significant time commitment. At minimum, the annual time commitment will include participation in three in-person board meetings each approximately 4-5 days in length, virtual meetings throughout the year, 2-6 days for in-person board standing committee or task team meetings, plus time needed for travel and meeting preparation. Directors will also need to dedicate an additional 8 days, plus travel and preparation, for required professional development to be completed during their first year of their first term.
