Action Plan for EMEA

• In EMEA, the SIG has produced an action plan to further develop the conscience of the value we give back to members.
• We want to develop the knowledge in the chapters of the SIG, creating informal Country Councils of the SIG.
• Promote the SIG web site and its content, specially the webinars.
• Develop the relationship between the regional chapters and the SIG, by actively participating in chapter events and networking with members and promoting regional events like dinners and seminars.

We are currently developing information for the development of Local Interest Group (LIG) for EMEA geographic area.

If you are interested, please complete our survey. It is very quick and easy if you just want to be a potential member of the LIG, and it will take a little more time if you want to become a volunteer or a LIG board member. You can answer even if you are not yet a member of the SIG or of PMI.
