Board

Board of Directors
The PMI WA Chapter Board comprises ten non-executive Directors that oversee the governance, legislative and operational needs of the Chapter. Board members serve a two-year term on the Board, with half of the positions expiring on an annual basis. The financial members of the Chapter select board members by a voting process during the Annual General Meeting. Occasionally Board positions do become available during the year and financial members who are interested in a future Board position should contact the President.

Board Meetings
Board Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month, from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm. There is no meeting in January.

Raising Issues
The Board welcomes and encourages input from the membership. Use the roles responsibilities (shown below) to select the board member to contact. Then use the email link to raise the issue through the appropriate board member. Alternatively contact Administration.
