Important Updates and Information for Members

25 Years of PMI-NH

In 2026, the PMI-NH Chapter proudly celebrates 25 years of supporting, connecting, and growing project professionals across New Hampshire. Over the past quarter century, our chapter has grown through the dedication of passionate volunteers, visionary leaders, and engaged members who have shaped the chapter. This milestone is not just about marking time passed, but honoring the people, ideas, and experiences that built the strong foundation we stand on today.

To celebrate our 25th anniversary, we’ll be highlighting the chapter's history, from people to events to milestones, all as a build up to celebrate in person at our 25th Birthday Bash (more details to come soon on this event!). Whether you’re a long‑time member or new to PMI‑NH, we invite you to join us in celebrating our past while continuing to build an even stronger future together.

You can view the most recent 25th celebration post here.

Additionally, we’re placing a bigger spotlight on the people who make our chapter what it is. From seasoned project professionals to those just starting their PMI journey, we want to hear our members stories. If you are interested in being highlighted in the PMI-NH chapter newsletter, please reach out to Shauna Cook at [email protected]
