The Washington, DC Chapter of the Project Management Institute
(PMI) was chartered in 1978 as the eighth chapter of PMI. The chapter
became a Virginia corporation in 2000 with the official
name of Project Management Institute Washington, D. C. Chapter, Inc.
(PMIWDC).
The original focus was on the construction industry. The
primary sponsor was Arthur Anderson. In the
ensuing years the chapter grew to become the largest chapter in the
world and expanded its focus to the many industries and government
areas embracing Project Management. This document highlights some of
the key facts and milestones achieved during those years.
