Pmi Savannah Chapter

What Pmi Savannah Chapter does

PMI Savannah Chapter (legal name: PMI Savannah, GA Chapter) is a regional nonprofit professional association chapter affiliated with the Project Management Institute (PMI), serving project management professionals in the Savannah, Georgia area and surrounding Low Country region. Founded in 1999, the chapter operates with a small staff of 1–10 alongside a volunteer officer board led by President Lee Rachlin, and serves 287 members — 174 of whom hold the PMP credential, plus CAPM, PMI-ACP, PMI-CPMAI, PMI-PMOCP, PMO-CP, non-certified, and student members drawn from nearly 400 unique companies. Its product portfolio spans chapter membership, professional development events (workshops, virtual webinars, and an annual Professional Development Day conference awarding up to 13 PDUs), PMP exam preparation offered through partner Blue Summit CG, one-year access to the ProjectBites video learning platform, RBLP leadership certification preparation, PMI Job Board access, and PDU management guidance via PMI's CCRS system.

The chapter's underlying technology footprint is a thin layer over PMI's global infrastructure rather than a proprietary platform: members authenticate via PMI single sign-on, claim PDUs through PMI's CCRS, and access PMI sister sites ProjectManagement.com and ProjectsAtWork.com. The chapter's own technology consists of a website (pmisavannah.org, hosted by Dark Rhino Security), a virtual event delivery layer for live instructor-led sessions, and event registration/login for Professional Development Days. Distribution is event-driven and community-led, mixing virtual webinars with in-person facility tours (e.g., Hyundai MetaPlant, Georgia Quick Start Training Center) and dinner/networking sessions in the Savannah area, plus marketing through the PMI website, the chapter events calendar, and email communications.

The chapter is not a revenue-generating enterprise. Its monetization is event-based and modest: $10 per standard virtual event, $5–$10 per workshop, $100–$120 for the Professional Development Day, and affiliate-style discounts on PMP exam prep (15% via Blue Summit CG) and ProjectBites subscriptions. PMI global membership dues flow to PMI headquarters rather than the chapter. The organization's primary economic activity is delivering member services and PDU-earning programming that supports PMP and other PMI credential renewals for the local Savannah professional community.
