Who We Are

PMI Baltimore Chapter is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating Project Managers and promoting professionalism in Project Management.

We are a proud member of PMI Region 5 Assembly of Chapter Presidents. The Project Management Institute divides the country into several regions, and encourages cooperation and communication between all chapters in each region.

As the Baltimore Chapter is a Registered Education Provider with PMI, you can obtain PDUs (Professional Development Units) by attending chapter meetings and sponsored functions. See our page which is All About PDUs!

The Baltimore Chapter has a wide range of PDU offerings to its membership. We have 9 operational Chapter Sites which total over 65 Site Events per year. These offerings include 10 Seminars per year which allow Chapter membership and non-membership the opportunity to gain knowledge in many facets of project management and can apply this education experience to their everyday work environment.

The Baltimore Chapter also provides to its membership the opportunity to take Prep Courses in order to quality to take the following PMI Credential Exams:

• Project Management Professional
• Certified Associate of Project Management
• Risk Management Professional
• Schedule Professional

All interested Project Managers are invited to attend our chapter meetings! You do not need to be a PMI member to attend. If you are a Baltimore Chapter member, try making one or two meetings a year: great people, interesting invited speakers and practical discussions of PM issues all await!

President’s Message

I am honored to represent the Baltimore Chapter for PMI as President for the next 2 years. Often recognized as the “email guy,” for the last 4 years, I have served on the PMI Baltimore Chapter Board of Directors as VP – Communications for two years and most recently VP - Programs. During my tenure, I have gained a first-rate understanding of the Chapter Strategic and Operational responsibilities. I worked closely with John Kos in order to comprehend the specific responsibilities associated with the position as it relates to Chapter planning, coordination, and implementation of processes to promote a strong, robust, and successful Chapter. The experience on the Board has helped in understanding the importance in maintaining a strong Chapter in following the guidelines and associated standards as directed by PMI GOC.

Memo from the Immediate Past President

This is a bittersweet time of the year. The Holiday season is in front of us, affording all the opportunity to enjoy the companionship of family and friends, followed shortly by the end of another year, and my tenure as President of the Chapter. As I look back over the past two years, I am proud of what we have accomplished. Five accomplishments come to mind. The first is the improvement in the financial health of the Chapter. With the support of Bob Wallace, VP of Finance, as well as of the Board, we moved from a passive financial strategy, which was appropriate for its time, to a more aggressive strategy, by changing the banking institution, earning interest on our checking account, however small, and moving the reserve into a higher interest-bearing Certificate of Deposit. The financial health of the Chapter is excellent, under the watchful eye of Mr. Robert J. Wallace.
