Do one meaningful thing in your first month.
The chapter becomes valuable when members act. Pick the action that matches your current need: learn, earn PDUs, network, volunteer, mentor, join a domain community, use collaboration spaces or suggest a topic.
Learn
Register for one seminar, workshop or SIG session aligned to your current work or career direction.
Earn PDUs
Attend eligible events, track Education and Giving Back activities, and retain proof for CCRS.
Network
Introduce yourself in one member forum, attend one in-person event, and connect with peers respectfully.
Contribute
Volunteer, mentor, support an event, propose a speaker, write content or help a SIG working group.
What members should do after selecting “Take Action”
This is a practical one-month operating plan for new members.
Choose one outcome for this month
Examples: earn 2 PDUs, attend your first seminar, join the AI & GCC SIG, understand MentorPRO, visit the chapter office, or volunteer for one event.
Use the correct channel
For events, use the official event page. For general routing, email info@pmipunechapter.org. For volunteering, use volunteer@pmipunechapter.org. For membership issues, use membership@pmipunechapter.org.
Convert interest into a calendar entry
Register for the event, block time, note venue/online details, and keep the confirmation. Good participation begins with simple scheduling discipline.
After the activity, document the value
Record what you learned, whom you met, what PDUs may be claimable, and what follow-up you need. This helps convert attendance into professional growth.
Take a second-level action
Volunteer, write a short reflection, ask to join a working group, propose a topic, bring your corporate PMO into a chapter conversation, or mentor another member.
