Meetings are open to both members and guests - if you are joining us as a guest, information regarding membership benefits can be found on our How to Join page.

PMO Local Interest Group (PMO LIG)

The chapter launched a PMO Local Interest Group (PMO LIG) in 2011, led by Matt Jebaraj, MBA, PMP (VP - Special Projects). This local interest group meets regularly providing a smaller group networking set-up, PDU opportunities, and a forum for sharing PMO Best Practices. Several of our chapter members have joined this group, and a leadership committee leads the group. During our February 2012 session, we have invited an expert Agile coach - Mr. Pat Guariglia (the Founder and President of Elegant Agile, Inc) to help our PMO LIG members explore Agile. Whether you already work in a PMO, or just would like to learn and share more about PMOs and Best Practices, please consider joining our PMO LIG. If interested, please email .
