Special Interest Group (SIG) Info - National & Local
Many Western Michigan Chapter members are also active in various SIGs. As announcements about SIG activities which may be of interest to our chapter members comes our way, we will post it here. Please share SIG info with us.
From the PMI International site on SIGs:
PMI Chapters offer members the ability to network with project managers from a variety of different industries on interest areas. SIG membership is worldwide and gives PMI members the opportunity to network with peers with similar interests. Since SIG membership has no geographical boundaries, SIG members generally meet face to face once a year at PMI's Annual Seminars & Symposium.
SIGs provide a forum for project managers to share experiences with others managing similar types of projects and facing the same project management challenges and concerns. SIGs participate in a wide range of activities which include, but are not limited to, quarterly newsletters, networking directory, seminars, technical tracks at PMI Seminars & Symposium, teleconferences, interactive web sites, publications, and much more!
Is a PMI SIG for me?
If you deal with projects, either as the Project Manager (or perhaps you are aspiring to become one?) and want to be more effective at planning, leading, organizing and controlling project work, PMI and a SIG can help your cause! You will find it most rewarding, both professionally and personally, to become involved with PMI SIGs. SIG members pay a nominal fee to support SIG activities. The SIG member must also be a member of PMI in good standing.
For more information regarding joining a SIG, visit the SIG page on the PMI International site.
