Book Club

Join us for a cup of coffee and a great discussion! Book clubs have been around for decades and are now gaining popularity within the corporate environment and now for project management practitioners like you!

The FW PMI Book Club offers:

A venue that encourages discussion and exchange on project management topics.
An alternative to traditional meetings that still qualifies for PDUs.

Would you like to participate in a Book Club?

Go to the Chapter's calendar to find the date of the next Book Club meeting and register.
