The ACT Chapter is a passionate and active group of Canberra project professionals. The project management community in Canberra is friendly and inclusive, and AIPM members can be found across all levels of government, industry and the private sector. The Chapter Council comprises a diverse group of passionate and committed project management professionals who generously donate their time and expertise to advancing the professionalism of project management. Councillors hold portfolio responsibilities across a number of areas including knowledge and research, PMO, project controls, standards, membership, governance. The Council meets each month and in addition to portfolio responsibilities, Councillors also provide volunteer mentoring and support for project managers across the state.
The Chapter holds a monthly CPD evening events, usually at the Hellenic Club in the City and we also run a PMO focussed event each month at different venues. AIPM members and non-members are warmly welcome to attend these events which allow for networking and learning in a friendly, relaxed environment. The highlight of the ACT calendar is the Project Management Achievement Awards, which are celebrated each year with an awards event in August. The Chapter also celebrates International Women’s Day in March, and International Project Management Day in November with topical keynote speakers.
The ACT Chapter also runs the AIPM Skilled Community Network Program (CNP) which matches certified project management with not-for-profit organisations. If you are interested, please email Narelle at act_chapter@aipm.com.au or phone 0435 786 856.
I look forward to seeing you all at the forums and events this year; let’s fill them to the max!
