Are you new to the Atlanta Chapter of the Project Management Institute? Do you go to chapter meetings and find a group of strangers? One of the ways to get to know people in your profession is to become involved. PMI Atlanta is led by volunteers, run by volunteers, and utilizes volunteers for most of the tasks needed to make it the organization that it is.
The key to any effective organization is people who are committed to the common mission. The PMI Atlanta Chapter has been fortunate to have many capable and motivated people participating in building and maintaining the chapter from the early days through to our most recent accomplishments. We welcome you in joining this group to take an active role in supporting the development of the Project Management profession throughout the Atlanta area.
There are volunteer opportunities that range in commitment from as little as a one-time two-hour role at a seminar to support registration to the many hours committed by our board. Many opportunities request two to four hours per month or short term commitments. There are always opportunities for leadership, program development, community service, and any other thing that a 3500+ member organization needs to remain strong.
What's in it for Me? - Rewards and Recognition
- PERSONAL REWARD - giving back to an organization that has given me so much
- VALUABLE EXPERIENCE - Skills broadening - try something you've always wanted to do, learning about new tools and techniques that other volunteers bring to the table
- MEET NEW PEOPLE - Networking opportunities in regular meetings and interactions with professional peers throughout the region
- KEEP INVOLVED - Earn PDU's to keep your PMP status current
- MAKE AN IMPACT - Help thousands of professional people and hundreds of organizations in Atlanta for years to come
- WORK WITH A VARIETY OF PEOPLE - From so many different organizations (corporations, non-profits, government, engineering, software, etc.)
- MAKE NEW FRIENDS - Incredible friendships are made with other professionals
The Chapter only maintains its excellence through the efforts of its members. Jump in to help. Check out our activities below where you could make a difference.
