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.
