Arizona Chapter Town Hall

As project managers, we understand that change is not just inevitable—it’s an opportunity. It’s through transformation that we grow, innovate, and create greater impact. Today, I am excited to share an important development that represents a bold step forward for the project management community in Arizona.

We are initiating the formation of a unified PMI Arizona Chapter—a strategic collaboration between the PMI Phoenix and PMI Tucson Chapters to create one strong, statewide organization. This is more than a structural change; it is a vision to amplify our collective voice, better serve our members, and deliver even greater value to professionals across Arizona.

Why Are We Doing This?

This initiative follows careful evaluation and collaborative discussions between both chapter boards. While it requires the dissolution of PMI Phoenix and PMI Tucson as separate legal entities, it allows us to unite as a singular, more impactful chapter that reflects the full strength of our project management community.

Our newly defined Multi-Year Business Plan (2026–2029) outlines this transformation and the key benefits it will bring:

• Enhanced Community Development: Greater connectivity and engagement across Northern, Central, and Southern Arizona—enabling us to learn from one another and grow together, regardless of location.
• Expanded Value Proposition: Access to a broader range of events, programs, and professional development opportunities, including larger-scale conferences and region-specific offerings.
• Stronger Volunteer Engagement: More diverse, meaningful volunteer roles across branches—empowering members to lead, grow, and make a difference statewide.
• Increased Organizational Outreach: A stronger, unified chapter improves our ability to engage companies, government agencies, and academic institutions across Arizona.
• Amplified Membership Value: With combined resources, we can deliver more impactful services, deeper knowledge-sharing, and a more influential PMI presence in our region.
