The WiPM SIG "came back to life" bigger
and stronger after a period of inactivity. In 2001, the SIG received a
PMI award for regeneration. It now has over 2,000 members worldwide, 15%
of whom are non-US located, including over 500 members with the Project
Management Professional (PMP) credential. Although its name and logo implies
"women only," that's not the case--it has approximately ten men who are
members of the organization. From the male perspective, WiPM provides a
unique opportunity to learn first-hand about both the similarities and
differences in gender as applied to our field.
While the types of services they provide
are standard, they try to gear them with a female twist. Please browse
their web site to learn more about our News Brief (6 times a year), special
programs such as our eMentoring Program, Yahoo Community, and the volunteer
opportunities.
