Website Changes are In Progress!

We want to make it easier for you to get involved with the chapter!   Go to the “Get Involved” tab at the top of the fwpmi.org website and you will see options to get more information about how to Volunteer  and about the different Outreach teams.  A couple of the Outreach pages are under construction but each includes an email group for that team. 




Additionally, the Volunteer page has been updated to make it easier for you to access the VRMS to look at open volunteer opportunities.   Click the big PMI Volunteer Relationship Management System button and then login using your PMI user id and password.  Click on Find an Opportunity and then select the Fort Worth chapter and select Search.    Going forward, we will be posting some key postions on the Volunteer page with links to apply to, so it will be even easier for you to get involved. 
Additional changes to the website are planned in the near future so watch for more information in the coming weeks.  

Fort Worth PMI Members, the PMI Member survey just came out. The member survey is PMI’s method to hear your voice and determine how well it and our chapter are performing.  As PMI continues to understand and serve its customer (YOU), it includes questions that:

• Collect demographic data of current members (i.e. age, PM experience level)
• Identify improvement opportunities
• Gauge member satisfaction

We encourage you to participate in this survey, so we can support you during your career journey and make the Fort Worth PMI Chapter beneficial for you. Look for it in your email inbox (on file with pmi.org). The deadline for your input is 11:00 PM EST on 18^th February 2019.  It should approximately take 10 minutes to complete the survey.

Thanks for your valued input!
