Interested in Making a Difference to Marketing and Sales
Project Managers? Serve on the MSSIG Board!


We are only as good as our members and our leadership. We have a vision, but we need members who share our vision to help us.

Volunteering requires a commitment of time and effort, but in addition to great personal satisfaction, volunteering also provides a great way for PMPs to maintain their certification: Check it out!

  • Program Management Professional credential(s) must accrue and report a minimum of 60 professional development units (PDUs) during each CCR cycle, which is typically 3 years.
  • Category 5-Volunteer Service activities: maximum 20 PDUs per CCR cycle
         o Serve 12 months as an elected officer for a project management organization:
            10 PDUs per calendar year.
         o Serve 12 months as a volunteer/appointed committee member for a project management         organization: 5 PDUs per calendar year.
  • This means you can meet up to one-third of your PMI Continuing Certification Requirements program (CCR) requirements through volunteering with the PMI MSSIG alone.

The MSSIG Board meets - via telephone - once a month for about an hour. Assigned duties will require some additional time, but typically not more than one hour per week. If you have interest in volunteering, or have other questions about your MSSIG, please feel free to contact me directly. I will also try to reach out to each of you personally by phone, for those of you who have given us your phone number.

2008 MetSIG Global Online Congress

We're Looking for Webinar Presenters!

The MSSIG has partnered with the Metrics SIG to sponsor a track at the MetSIG's second annual Global Online Congress in April 2008. This year' Congress will feature over 200 live webinars from presenters around the world. The month-long event will also include webinars from dozens of participating PMI SIGs.

Present a Webinar and Support the SIG!
The MSSIG is looking for presenters to deliver one-hour webinars to fill the MSSIG's track. The topic of the presentation should be metrics related and of interest to project managers in the marketing and sales fields. The webinars will be recorded in advance of the Congress, but presenters will need to be available by telephone to respond to live Q&A discussions (on average, 5-10 minutes).

If you are interested in presenting a webinar during the MetSIG Global Online Congress, please send us an email with your proposed topic to administrator@pmimssig.org. More details will be provided to interested presenters.

Please respond by February 29, 2008.

"This was the best webinar I've seen since I've been watching webinars. Very nicely done.
I'm telling other project managers to watch the recorded version when it comes out. Thanks!"
