Why Volunteer for ETPMI? 

Are you looking for reasons to volunteer for the East Tennessee Chapter of PMI?

Here are some of the top reasons to become part of our all volunteer team:

  • We need you…literally!  We’re an all volunteer organization.
  • Become better acquainted with the members of ETPMI (friendships / networking).
  • Stay connected with others in the chapter (via monthly meetings and more).
  • Potential to learn new or improve existing project management skills.
  • Share what you have learned from other organizations (project management or otherwise).
  • Share your Project Management experience.
  • Enhance existing soft skills (writing, presentation, leadership, etc.).
  • Help others in your community (make a positive difference).
  • Have a good time!
  • Earn Professional Development Units (PDUs) for your Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR).

How May I Help? 

We are looking for individuals to assist in all areas of the organization.  The more volunteers we have on hand, the more opportunities we have to grow the chapter.  Additionally, more volunteers provide organizational depth, and opportunities for chapter outreach which provides for a bigger pool of volunteers and the cycle continues.

 

How Much Time is Required? 

Volunteer opportunities range from short-term commitments of a few hours to long-term committee lead roles.  ETPMI has many different opportunities available, and the hours and skills required for each opportunity vary.

 

How do I Begin? 

If you are interested in volunteering, please complete and submit a Volunteer Application. When it is received, your application will be preliminarily reviewed for a “best-fit” determination and you will be contacted.

 

How do I Earn PDUs? 

The Board of Directors will issue PDU certificates at the end of each calendar year.  PMPs are responsible for reporting their volunteer activities to PMI.  PMPs should also maintain copies of publications, educational materials, agendas or other applicable documentation in support of earned PDUs.  For more information on obtaining PDUs through volunteering, please refer to the Project Management Institute Volunteer Opportunities page.  Here are some examples: 

Serve as an elected officer

Up to 10 PDUs per term

Serve as a team lead or support volunteer

Up to 5 PDUs per term

Speak at a chapter meeting

5 PDUs per engagement

 

We welcome your help and look forward to working with you!
