PMI is the leading global advocate for the project management profession. and we are the local Chapter support this effort. We empower our members by providing them with the credentials, knowledge and skills they need to succeed. Project Managers in turn become catalysts for organizational transformation; generating business results through effective project management.

In addition to supporting the professional development of project managers, PMI Rochester educates those outside the profession about how project management creates success. Our advocacy efforts highlight organizations in our region that use project management practices, and the leadership capabilities of professionals in the field, to achieve business results.

PMI Rochester exists to support its members and their profession of project management. In doing so, we also support all project practitioners around the world and in our area, along with other critical stakeholders. This includes those who employ project management practitioners and those who provide services to the profession. Our core purpose is our mission: To advance the practice, science, and profession of project management throughout the region in a conscious and proactive manner.

We call our long-term goal -- 10 to 30 years out -- our “Envisioned Goal.” It’s key to PMI’s and our strategic plans, and it is our vision. We want organizations to use project management -- and give credit for success where credit is due.
