Membership is open to any person who is interested and/or engaged in practicing, teaching, researching or otherwise applying project management. To become a member in the Austin Chapter, you must first join the global PMI organization.
Chapters advance the mission and objectives of PMI by promoting professional standards and practices. Ongoing professional development is a key benefit to membership and is supported at the chapter level through activities, meetings, and educational programs.
Chapters provide the ability for project managers to increase their knowledge about project management, while also providing an opportunity for networking with fellow project managers.

Did You Know? PMI offers a Hardship Provision for people who are having trouble paying their dues. Here is the policy as provided by PMI National:
"The Hardship Provision is available to any PMI member whose financial condition has changed drastically and sufficiently so that a member would have difficulty renewing their membership. A member must be in good standing for at least three previous years to qualify for the hardship provision. Under this provision, a member is granted a waiver for one year of PMI membership dues and one year of dues for membership in any two PMI Component of which the applicant was a member the previous year. The Hardship Provision may be granted for a maximum of two years for each member. This information can also be located on the back of the renewal invoice that members receive."
