Membership Benefits

This list is not complete nor perfect and the different items deliver different values to each of us individually. But the many PMINZ volunteers deliver this value year after year.
 
It is also not always made clear that this value can only be delivered because of the financial contributions of PMI members who also have chosen to become members of the PMI New Zealand Chapter. Without these contributions PMINZ couldn't organise all of this.
 
Please have a look at the values I captured and feel free to provide me with additions and feedback (membership@pmi.org.nz) positive or negative because one thing is sure - PMINZ will continue to improve the value to you as PMINZ members. And if you are not a PMINZ member yet, have a look and maybe it gives you enough reasons to become PMINZ member as well. You are most welcome to the PMINZ community!
