Prof. Development

In concurrence with our oveall mission to provide " Member Value", we deliver high quality offerings to our members, with a focus on professional development & networking opportunities.

The PMI-OC chapter is dedicated to the advancement of the PMI members. The continued goal is to promote the ethics and the professional code of conduct while working with our membership to insure that we are all continuing our development..

We increased the quality of our current offerings - the value, effectiveness, and consistency. Our offerings primarily serve experienced professionals. We focus on improving delivery & meeting the needs of our target members.

We continue to have a strong base of PMPs - at least half of our membership. We tailor our knowledge content (e.g., event topics) based on member needs/representation. We have diversity in products and services and cross-sell to our Partnerships in order to provide increased member value - e.g., conducting professional development events, providing member discounts to external offerings, utilizing our expertise on an OC community project.
