CHAPTER AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

Connecting the PMI Chennai Chapter Community with Local Businesses

The Project Management Institute Chennai Chapter is grateful to have the support of so many local organizations. We have a Chapter Ambassador Program (CAP) for those organizations with a presence in the Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu.

About the Chapter Ambassador Program

The Chapter Ambassador Program is an initiative of the PMI Chennai Chapter’s Outreach portfolio and a flagship program under the Corporate Outreach area.

Our Corporate Ambassadors are project professionals selected to represent their organizations in a unique program designed for the exchange of ideas and the development of project success strategies.

Ambassadors are crucial advocates for PMI and the Chennai Chapter and promote the value of project management within their organizations. Participants gain valuable insights while addressing the needs of their organization and contributing to corporate objectives.

The Chapter Ambassador Program is an opportunity to be part of the Project Management Institute (PMI) Chennai Chapter and act as your organization’s voice. You can bring in ideas, share experiences, and become an inherent part of PMI on behalf of your organization. The program also allows you to help improve and streamline the flow of information between PMI and the corporations in our area and allow those organizations to help contribute to the success of the chapter.
