Educational Development Committee
We create, we promote, we set the foundation and we execute phenomenal monthly educational events! We provide the PMPI membership with career advancing Educational Experiences (E2) and intimate round table Grab & Go Lunch Sessions. Members of this committee are in charge of all aspects of logistical planning, from topic & speaker selection, room & AV set, transportation and on-site coordination. We work closely with the Site Selection Committee (SASS) to obtain host sites and sponsors. We also collaborate with PR and Marketing to ensure all of our efforts are enjoyed by the entire membership and the Washington DC Metro Industry!
Responsibilities:
- Creation: Educational topic, theme, date & time selection
- Selection: Coordinating with SASS Committee to find locations to host events
- Contracting: Speakers/Moderators for monthly LE’s, G & G’s and webinars once location is determined
- Promotion: Developing Marketing strategy with PR and Marketing
- Logistics: Menu, Room Set, AV, Speakers, Transportation, etc
- Organization: Agenda/Timeline for events
- On-Site: Coordination for In-Person Events
Time commitment varies depending on the event and your level of volunteered involvement. Usually no more than 2-4 hours per month is needed in any position, but as we all know, some days/weeks there is nothing to do while others could require a little more time.
PMPI Story:
Volunteering on the Education committee allows you to be the boss! It’s a brilliant way to experience your PMPI membership on a totally new and elevated level, and to find a connection with the entire organization and industry. It is a great introduction to PMPI and great way to boost your sense of accomplishment. We can’t think of a better way to get a first-rate taste of what PMPI is all about.
