Since it it was only for a short time possible to become member of the PMI Germany Chapter - since January 10th - we have nevertheless already registered the first membership record. On January 10th one member made the very first step for a membership in the PMI Germany Chapter, one day later there were already two. And on January 17th, 2021 - exactly one week later - there are already 95 members who have found their way via www.pmi.org into the still young chapter. Added to this are the ca. 3.000 members who have been transferred from the other German chapters. Welcome to the new PMI Germany Chapter!

The new PMI Germany welcomes all members of the (former) PMI Cologne Chapter and gives you the membership for the sake of simplicity. And over 50 members have already taken advantage of this in the first 24h.

"Cologne welcome" you could say. Early on, the project group for the merger of the PMI Chapter landscape agreed to hold the door wide open for all PMI Chapter members from Cologne and to offer a free membership in the Germany Chapter. To make sure that these ideas are followed by actions, the executive board offered this to all PMI Chapter members in Cologne.

In the end, it got really exciting again. The finish was a heartbeat finale and not for the faint-hearted.

Do you ever hear that? In a criminal story 2/3 of the time are over, but the case is already solved and the protagonists treat themselves to a beer at the bar. But there's still something to come... A twist, a surprise, an insight that shakes everything up again.

It was something like that in the final part of the PMI Germany Chapter merger project. Originally, the general meetings for the approval of the merger were supposed to take place already in April 2020. Thanks to Corona, everything had to be postponed - but politics had subsequently laid the groundwork for virtual general meetings. And so, after the summer break, the membership meetings at the participating chapters were held in September 2020. The approvals of the members were all more than 90%. Done. Done? The remainder is only a matter of formalities. Register the association and the whole thing is done. This is the moment when the protagonists in a crime novel meet at the bar.The following restriction hovered over us: The registration had to take place in 2020 because, in formal legal terms, the merger had already begun on January 1, 2020. Define 2020? 31.12.2020 23:59h.

It was supposed to take place in November - our big project management congress PM-Summit. Unfortunately, we had to postpone it and now it is still: Corona! The omens for a timely congress with more than 500 participants in one place are not good. And nevertheless: There will be a new PM-Summit in spring, in a compact online edition! Read more here.
