PMI CVC Volunteer Opportunities

Make a Difference – Volunteer!

The key to any effective organization is people who are committed to the common mission. The PMI CVC has been fortunate to have many capable and motivated people participating in building and maintaining the chapter from the early days through to our most recent accomplishments.
