Professional Development
The Olympia PMI Chapter is dedicated to providing opportunities for its members to continue with their professional development and to support them in the maintenance of their existing accreditation.
Dinner Meetings
Once a month between September and June (we take off the months of July and August) we hold a dinner meeting at which our speakers present topics that are of relevance to the practice of Project Management and Project Managers. We draw our speakers from across the greater Northwest and search for topics that are applicable to our field.
PMP Preparation
The Project Management Professional (PMP) is the most popular certification that PMI offers. In order to help our members achieve their PMP certification the Olympia chapter regularly offers a PMP Boot Camp. This three day course developed by Steve Norton PMP, provides the aspiring professional with all the material they need to complete their studies earn their PMP. In addition, our chapter offers a mentoring program to help guide participants through the PMP application and certification process.
