Several Mentees and Mentors have expressed a desire to establish a “PM Shadowing Program” as well as development of a “Chapter Study Group” for the PMI Examination.    The Director of the FW PMI Mentor Program is asking if there is any interest or suggestions for either of these two potential programs. Send ideas, suggestions, or volunteer willingness to mentorprogram@fwpmi.org. 

Find a mentor or be a mentor! We are always looking for more mentors and mentees for this great program.  If you are a past Mentor or Mentee, please be sure your profile is updated. 

PMI:  Why Social Impact Matters

“Projects have the power to make a better world – to create new jobs; advance diversity, equality and inclusion; provide essential infrastructure; enhance education; improve public health and safety."

As part of PMI’s 50^th Anniversary Celebration in 2019, PMI partnered with the United Nations to identify 17 Sustainable Development Goals.  From the PMI website, “The UN's Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice.”
