Frequently Asked Questions

Who are you gonna call?

The FWPMI chapter is led by a board of officers. Each has their own area of responsibilities. As a chapter member, it may not be clear who you should contact with a question. Here is a short list of common questions and who can best help you.

I am having problems logging into the chapter website.
When you become a member of the chapter, the chapter’s officers are notified approximately 30 days afterwards. This delay is unavoidable and can mean that you are not given access in a timely fashion. If there is an upcoming workshop or other event that you would like to attend, feel free to contact membership@fwpmi.org for assistance.

I registered for an event (workshop or chapter meeting) and must cancel.
Actually, you can do this yourself! Log-in to the chapter website and select the event. You will see the “cancel” button. Be aware that a refund is not applicable if you do not cancel with sufficient notice. If you feel that you are entitled to a refund, please send an email to finance@fwpmi.org.

I attended a chapter meeting and am a PMP. I checked on the PMI website and my PDU is not showing up yet.
As a member benefit, the chapter will file your PDU for any chapter event worth 1-2 PDUs. If you wish to file yourself, all the information you need can be found on your printed receipt. Please note at registration “do not file” when you sign the registration sheet. Typically it will take 2 weeks after an event for the PDU to show up on your record. If it hasn’t shown up, feel free to send an email to programs@fwpmi.org.

I would like a copy of the speaker’s presentation from the last chapter meeting.
How do I get a copy? Most speakers are willing to share their presentations with those who attended the meeting. Please send an email to programs@fwpmi.org with your request.

I am not getting notified of upcoming chapter events.
The chapter sends out two email notifications per month that contains all upcoming events. It is sent out the second and fourth weeks of the month. If you are not receiving it, you can add yourself to the email distribution list on the "membership" tab. On the right side you will see “subscribe to newsletter & events”. Type in your email address and click “go”. You will be guided through the process.

I would like to get involved and volunteer.
What volunteer opportunities are there and what do I need to do? As a professional organization, we are all volunteers and there is plenty of opportunities to get involved. Whether you have a little time or a lot, we welcome the help! On the “Membership” tab and scroll down to the “Volunteer Opportunities” section. You can also send an email to membership@fwpmi.org with your request.

I attended a workshop and need to log my PDUs…
Each project management certificant is ultimately responsible for ensuring that their PDUs are reported to PMI correctly and in a timely manner. Recent changes to the PMI.org website has simplified this process and it is entirely web-based. For each Chapter event you attend, you will receive the necessary documentation and information required to complete this process. You should keep this in your PDU file for a minimum of one year after a recertification cycle end for audit purposes. Specific questions can be answered from the Credential Handbook, or contact PMI Global Operations Center; email: customercare@pmi.org or phone: 610-356-4600.

I am a certified (PMP, PgMP, PMI-RMP, PMI-SP), and need to Renew my Credentials…
Renewing your certification just got a whole lot easier! Certification renewal is quick and easy by using the convenient online option.

As you log your PDUs for workshops and chapter meetings, among other qualifying events during your recertification cycle, PMI keeps a transcript total of your PDUs. When you have reached your qualifying benchmark, PMI provides notification that you are eligible to renew. Instead of filling out a paper renewal form, PMI offers an online option that is so simple and easy to use that renewal can be completed in just minutes.

	Instructions For Registering For An Event Thank you for your interest in attending one of our upcoming events. You do not have to be a current member to attend any event. However, the registration process is different for members and non-members. Every attendee must register and at this time, each registration is processed individually. To register multiple people, the process must be followed for each person separately. Members: To receive member discounts for an event, you must first log in to the chapter website. When you became a member, you were automatically sent an welcoming email with your temporary password. If you have forgotten it, a new temporary password can be sent to you by clicking the "Lost Password?" link. This link is found on the Home page. Select the event, workshop or meeting that you are interesting in. You may do so using the link on the Home page or by accessing it by clicking on the "Calendar" tab on the menu bar.
