Why should I consider a Board position?
Volunteers are the foundation of any PMI Chapter. Volunteering can be a key ingredient in career and personal growth. It provides an opportunity to develop leadership skills and offers personal satisfaction from contributing to the success of our local chapter and being part of an international organization. Finally, it allows you to earn professional development units (PDUs) towards your PMP certification renewal. As a board member, you should plan on attending the Fall or Spring Region meeting (currently held virtually). The Chapter and Region will share the expenses for attending the Region Meetings. Board members serve 2-year terms.
