Outreach

At Pittsburgh PMI, our Outreach Program promotes project management as a force for positive and lasting change in our community. We engage with representatives of local businesses, academic institutions, professional associations, and the broader Pittsburgh community to drive project success and support the growth of project professionals. Our outreach efforts aim to foster a culture of excellence and continual improvement.

Our mission is to raise awareness of project management's value and empower organizations and individuals to achieve their full potential. By supporting the development of future leaders and helping organizations deliver successful projects, we elevate our community and the our world.
