Project Learning Engaged Students =

Some of the students who undertook the training last year have actually scored really good marks since then.

I think they’ve got their head around planning how to achieve the ‘good results’ before actually doing the ‘good results.

PMIEF can make a difference to all sorts of people...PMIEF is a complementary tool [to PMI] that chapters can use to demonstrate the value of project management while changing the lives of thousands in their communities.

Feedback from Volunteers Our chapter’s outreach programs with local nonprofits and schools are some of the most exciting and meaningful activities of the year.

Francisco Herrera, PMPPMI Sinaloa, MX Chapter President

Our work with local schools has created new and engaging ways for me to work with, and get to know other chapter members, all while we’re helping make a difference in our local community.

Bruce Vapnitsky, PMPPMI New York City Chapter Volunteer

Through volunteering with PMI and PMIEF, I have grown personally and professionally as a leader…I can honestly say that I attribute my success to the many relationships gained from collaborating with others around the globe through these organizations.
