PMI Chapter Programs

 

As long-time volunteers at our own local PMI Chapters, the Principals and Instructors at Gr8PM have a deep understanding of the challenges faced by Chapters wishing to bring premier value to their members. To name a few of those challenges:

  • Too many needs; too few dollars
  • Too much work; too few volunteers and too many overworked volunteers
  • Speakers and Presenters who fail to deliver; or even fail to show up – often cancelling at the last moment

Precisely because of those experiences at our Chapters – and our commitment to the value of PMI and volunteerism – we made it an integral part of Gr8PM’s mission to provide the highly educational, highly practical, highly engaging programs and seminars that attract and engage your members. At the same time Gr8PM has developed the resources and business models that allow all Chapters – large and small – to provide for their members without suffering a financial hardship. In fact, the programs are designed to contribute to the Chapter’s financial health and also motivate more members to volunteer.

How Does It Work:

  • Chapter gets 100% no-risk sponsorship fees
  • Gr8PM does the logistics “heavy lifting”
  • Gr8PM takes 100% of the risk
  • Works for Chapters large, small, and everywhere in between

2. Chapter and Gr8PM design a custom, phased-in program

  • Gr8PM fully-supports events and classes until Chapter members take-over
  • Gr8PM trains Chapter volunteers and provides assistance, coaching, and materials (as needed)
  • Chapter runs program solo with volunteers when it decides it is ready

3. How to start
