Professional Association Outreach

Mission

The mission of Professional Association Outreach is two-prong.

  1.  Advocate for and promote the Project Management profession, PMI, and PMI Chicagoland to other professional associations. In working with other associations, bring back information and collaborative events to the PMI Chicagoland membership

  2. Create and support PMI Chicagoland Special Interest Groups.

Special Interest Groups

Focus

  •  Provide members with knowledge of other professional associations and their events.
  • Continuously identify and seek to establish relationships with the leadership of new professional associations.
  • Establish a foundation of infrastructure and processes which will allow Professional Association Outreach to expand the number of members and the number of organizations which it can support while still maintaining a quality experience for all involved.

We are open to ideas and discussion. Reach out to the email below to start a conversation about your association working with PMIC. 

The focus for creating and facilitating SIGs within the PMIC chapter is to better support groupings of specialty Project Management (ex: Construction), and to better engage members who are helped with more targeted outreach.

Current Special Interest Groups

We'd be delighted if you join us! In 2026, we will be using the PMIC meeting registration system. Meetings are free. 

How to get involved...

The Special Interest Groups meet quarterly. Most meetings are virtual, though we have in-person gatherings as well. 

If you are a current PMI Chicagoland member, visit our Chicagoland chapter volunteer system to consider the positions made available by the Director, Professional Association Outreach.  You may also reach out to the Director, Professional Association Outreach at [email protected] for information.
