Get Involved
Find a Volunteer Opportunity
Make your mark on our PMI Chapter and the profession. As a member, you can volunteer to work on and to lead activities that advance the profession and support the chapter business operations by joining our chapter volunteer community. All volunteer openings are managed by the PMI Volunteer Engagement Platform (VEP). This system includes the ability to search for opportunities, view details about each role and apply online.
Earn PDUs by Volunteering
Project Management PDUs can be earned in the "Giving Back" category by: Creating Content; Giving a Presentation; Sharing Knowledge; and Volunteering in the SNEC chapter. You can earn PDUs at SNEC by providing volunteer, non-compensated project management services. Our chapter is led, managed, and supported by active chapter volunteers serving in positions ranging from formal leadership roles as part of the chapter board responsible for ongoing administration, financial viability, and strategic direction to more informal, ad-hoc roles such as supporting chapter events, projects, subcommittees and leading or moderating presentations.
Speakers for our Chapter's Events
SNEC-PMI welcomes proposals from passionate speakers interested in sharing their experiences, knowledge and expertise on such topics as general business and strategy, leadership, project management, and technical or industry-specific specialties. Our Professional Development events provide professional development units (PDUs) of educational information necessary for those attendees maintaining certification designations. Speakers are also eligible to claim PDUs for their creation and delivery of the presentation material.
