Professional Development for PMI Chapter Leaders

Speaking at PMI Leadership Institute Meetings

PMI Leadership Institute Meetings are where chapter leaders come together, to share, to learn, and to turn vision into action.

Aligned to PMI’s global event theme, Built to Move, LIMs focus on what it takes to lead with adaptability, create momentum, and strengthen communities in a world that's constantly changing. As the pace of change accelerates, chapter leaders play a critical role in helping communities stay connected, future-ready, and positioned for long-term impact.

Held in person across PMI’s six managed regions, LIMs are exclusively designed for chapter leaders within each respective region.

Alongside leadership training, PMI strategy and initiatives, and cultural values and behaviors, LIMs feature interactive breakout sessions led by PMI subject matter experts and chapter leaders, as well as structured networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration, shared learning, and practical community impact.

What We're Looking For

We invite current North America chapter leaders from the region to submit presentations, case studies, and interactive sessions that demonstrate execution, adaptability, systems alignment, and practical value.
