These programs and activities are created to help our student constituents enhance their Project Management skills, knowledge, and experience.
PMI West Texas cultivates an atmosphere of knowledge-sharing and fellowship. Our goal is to organize a group of like-minded individuals who express a desire to improve the practice of Project Management, create advocates for PMI methodology adoption and execution, and to facilitate innovative thinking and ideas.
