What we’re about
The PMI Phoenix Chapter is your link to the Project Management Institute (PMI), the largest and most diverse international organization in the world dedicated to the profession of project management. The Chapter was founded in 1978 as the 29th Chapter to be chartered in the United States. The Chapter has grown and evolved, and today it has approximately 2300+ members representing project management in industry, consulting, government, and academia. Over two-thirds of our members have earned PMP credentials. We serve our members in the greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area, Flagstaff, Prescott, Yuma, Kingman, and many other outlying communities in Arizona. We were incorporated on September 29, 2000, as a 501(c)(6) non-profit corporation as defined by the United States Internal Revenue Service.

Who Should Join: Any current or aspiring project manager should join this community to learn, share, and have fun.

We meet monthly to meet new friends, connect with colleagues, and to share our experiences.
Why Members Should Join: You should join not only for fun and camaraderie but to learn.
Have you just been assigned to a new project or have you just started in managing projects in a new industry?
Want to get a jump on your project by networking with others to learn best practices?
Need a mentor to guide you through uncharted waters?
You'll find this and much more at the Phoenix Chapter of PMI.
What Members Can Expect: Evening events, breakfast roundtables, networking events galore, and PDUs! But PMIPHX is more than just events, it's our members that make a difference. Join, share, learn, lead, and have fun.
