History
The Project Management Institute (PMI®) was founded in 1969 and has grown to be the organization of choice for project management professionalism. With more than 240,000 members in over 160 countries, PMI® is the leading non-profit professional association in the area of Project Management. PMI establishes new Project Management standards, benchmarks, provides seminars, educational programs and professional certification that more organisations desire for their project leaders. PMI has over 250 chartered chapter internationally, 33 Chartered Specific Interest Groups (SIGs), 2 Chartered Colleges, dispersed over 160 countries.
There are well over 242,000 certified Project Management Professionals (PMP®) across the world. PMI’s Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification is the most widely recognized in the profession. For more than 36 years, PMI has advanced the careers of practitioners who have made project management indispensable in achieving business results.
Early in 2001, a group of Project Managers, felt there was a strong need for a Western Australian chapter of PMI to promote Project Management best practice and PMI in Western Australia. Following a successful PMI WA launch meeting in November 2001, the chapter was chartered in December 2001, with 28 members. Today it has nearly 400 members! This year (2007) we celebrated our 6th Birthday.

Site Design
The PMI WA Chapter website has been designed to have a simple, clean appearance with a subtle Australian flavour and rapid access to information.
Simplicity
The reduced use of colour and the use of simple fonts and images has been used to streamline the site and to provide as fast a screenload time as possible. Information is no more than 3 clicks away.
The site can be viewed in both 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 screen resolution. However it is recommended to be viewed in 1024 x 768 resolution.
Australian Flavour
The map of Australia highlights Western Australia which will allow international chapters to familiarise themselves with the location of Western Australia.
The handprint menu icon is used in Australian Aboriginal cave paintings. Members of the tribe placed their hands on rock formations and blew paint over their hands leaving the imprint of the hands on the rock behind.
Web Designer
Tim Boylson designed and created the original PMI WA website. In creating the design, Tim consulted with various PMI WA stakeholders distilling the design criteria from a series of discussions. Today, the website is maintained by the Board of Directors, and overseen by our resident Web Master - Joanne Saunders.
Any comments or feedback on the website can be forwarded to the current webmaster Joanne Saunders.
