Board Positions and Election Process

2023 PMI Calumet Chapter

Over the past few years, the PMI Calumet revitalized itself in to a formidable local chapter thanks to the volunteer board and chapter President. The Calumet Chapter focused on Professional Development, leadership and community events to give our membership plenty of opportunities to learn, earn PDUs, and volunteer to give back to the profession.

To continue growing and improving our chapter, we need your engagement and encourage you to participate on the Board of Directors.  Per our chapter bylaws, every 1-2 years a formal election of officers is held for nominated positions.  Nomination of candidates to the PMI Calumet Chapter Board can be self-nominated, board-nominated, or chapter-nominated.

Being a PMI Calumet Chapter leader provides tremendous growth, leadership skills, and recognition to further your career accomplishments while giving back. Your role as a volunteer will advance the continuing evolution of the PMI Calumet Chapter, not to mention all the PDUs you’ll earn for your Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) per 3-year cycle. 

We look forward to working with you to help develop a strong and visionary board for the PMI Calumet Chapter.  We have important work to do for our profession and our communities.  You can contact a member of the Nominations Committee by emailing [email protected].
