For more information related to educational or professional development opportunities, contact the VP of Professional Development (vp_profdev@pmimemphis.org) or the VP of Membership (vp_membership@pmimemphis.org).

Additionally, some employers offer their employees educational / tuition assistance which may cover the cost of things like boot camps and certification testing, if the testing is related to an employee’s role or responsibilities

The heart of every PMI Chapter is its volunteers, and PMI Memphis Chapter is no different.  With a membership base of over 3500 individuals, the Chapter relies on its volunteers to organize and lead the Chapter, host events, and support all the Chapter’s functions.  If you would like to volunteer in some capacity with the Chapter – to include assisting our transitioning military members and veterans – visit PMI’s Volunteer Relationship Management System (VRMS) page:
