PMI Central Arkansas

The PMI Central Arkansas Chapter (CACPMI) holds monthly lunch meetings that provide education and opportunities for networking with other in the project management profession. CACPMI also sponsors classes for preparing for the PMP examination, as well as workshops, seminars, and an annual conference throughout the year for members and non-members alike.  Attending one of the programs or events is a good opportunity for prospective members to meet professionals involved in project management and to learn more about the profession.
