In 1977, a handful of people got together and organized the chapter to share best practices in project management. Since then, new ideas and pioneering services were born, many "firsts" for its members and stakeholder communities.

- Grew the Community Outreach programs by sustaining long-standing partnerships with academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, professional associations, social and youth groups.

- Started the "Project of the Year" Award in 2020 to recognize individuals/teams/organizations whose project management effort demonstrated significant impact to the community. The winner American Hospital Association (AHA) focused specifically on COVID-19 response.
- Expanded the Product Portfolio with the launch of the first Agile Conference this year to niche member segment seeking Agile frameworks and disciplines, to upskill and reskill professionals and changemakers for advancement.

We've stayed true to our roots, always focused on helping people achieve their greatest potential" said Ura Puranda, President, PMI Chicagoland Chapter.
