Member Stories & Testimonials

Why did I join PMI Toronto Chapter?

There isn't much of a story to why I joined, after receiving my PMP certification, its only natural to be part of a community of like-minded professionals. My goal when joining was to meet my new peers and share new ideas. However, the reason why I choose to stick around, and volunteer is because the community is welcoming and very engaging. I can connect with my peers and engage younger generations who are pursuing a career in project management. Being a part of a professional community that is over 5,500 members across several industries has its inherited educational benefits. These are the few reasons I will continue to stay an engaged member of this community.
