Volunteer Opportunities

PMI® Buffalo is a volunteer-driven organization and we look for dedicated individuals who are committed to serve our membership. It’s a great opportunity to learn new skills and meet great people! Plus, you can also earn PDUs just by volunteering in any area of our chapter. You can also share with us your own creative ideas on how you want to be involved.

There are several levels of volunteerism within our chapter: 

Volunteers are always needed to staff standing and ad-hoc committees.

Directors have leadership responsibilities within specific areas of the chapter. The Board appoints directors. There are directors working in each of the functional areas mentioned above.

Board members are elected into office and serve a two-year term. The Board consists of a President, 2 Trustees, and the following VPs: Certifications, Finance, Marketing and Communications, Membership, Outreach, Professional Development, and Technology & Business Services.

Interested in volunteering for a committee or leadership position? Complete a Volunteer Information form, indicating your areas of interest and expertise. If you do not see an open volunteer opportunity that interests you below, please note that Volunteer positions become available throughout the year, and we'll keep your form on file for future openings that match your qualifications.
