Our Chapter

The Olympia PMI Chapter was founded in 2004 with the vision statement:

"Our communities’ project managers, organizations, and their clients value the Olympia Chapter of PMI because it brings us project professionals together to build relationships and enhance their skills, experience, and project results."

Our Chapter has flourished over the years to over 400 members. Through the volunteer efforts of many members, we have seen steady growth and many of the original members are still involved today. Our Chapter strives to bring pertinent topics and presenters to the monthly dinner meetings and provide our members with an opportunity to network with fellow professionals. The Chapter also conducts two PMP Prep Courses throughout the year with an almost perfect record of success in students attaining their certification.
