Welcome to all of our new members
... and congratulations on becoming a new member of PMIWDC!

You may have no idea what a positive impact being a Chapter Member will have for you, and quite possibly, your career. Some of the highlights include your ability to network with the Chapter’s 8000+ members.

You can earn valuable PDUs by coming to the monthly dinner and attending the PM Tools session just before dinner. If you prefer, there are luncheons to attend as well. If you’re working towards your PMP Certification you can find many study partners like yourself. Take a few minutes to visit the Chapter’s web page and you will see how valuable your new membership truly is. Feel free to ask questions of any Chapter Member, or stop by the Meet and Greet area just before dinner. 

The New Member Committee members will be more than happy to answer your questions.

Once again, Congratulations on your new membership to PMIWDC!


Meet Your Volunteer

Each month, another one of our many outstanding volunteers will be showcased here and on the Chapter's website.
