    Keep your certification current

    If you hold a PMP®, PMI requires 60 PDUs in every three-year cycle, and up to 25 of those can come from Giving Back to the Profession. Volunteering with this chapter counts in that category

    Work with the chapter

    Sponsor the chapter, and you are in the same room every month: experienced project professionals from across the ACT's technology, government and consulting sectors. Or speak at one of our evening events if you have something worth an evening of their time. We review every proposal before it goes on the programme, so our members hear practitioners talking about work they have actually done, not sales pitches.

    Who is in this chapter

    Our members work across information technology, government and consulting in the ACT. Many are on federal programmes, and many are contractors moving between engagements.
