2023 Board Nominations & Elections

The recent updates to our bylaws have been ratified and approved.  As a result, we have officially begun the nomination and election process for our 2023 Board.

Which Positions are Open for Election for 2023?

Elected board positions that are currently open for nominations are: 

The operating year is January 1 to December 31. New positions are effective January 1 of the next calendar year.  So those who run for this election will serve as a board member for our Chapter from January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2024. 

Who Can Run?

Any Dayton/Miami Valley PMI Chapter member whose membership is in good standing at the time of the election may run for a position.  Having a PMP is not a requirement, being a local PMI chapter member is. Nominees also are required to maintain membership during their tenure at the Board. All chapter members are encouraged to consider running for a Board of Directors position. The Board is strengthened when there is a broad, diverse representation from its membership.  IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to be qualified for the President position, a nominee must be a current or past member of the Board.

Why Volunteer?

Reasons to join the board include:

• PDUs…lots and lots of PDUs (both for volunteerism and for trainings attended while in a board capacity).
• Personal satisfaction, recognition, branding, networking with others
• Leadership Opportunities – conferences, meetings, mentoring
• Develop/Enhance Project Management, Leadership, Technical, and Business skills
• Give back to local community & Project Management
• The ability to influence the success of PMI Dayton within the community
• Provide (future) Project Managers a way to learn about Project Management
• Provide Project Managers a way to grow as Project Leaders

Because one person can make a difference!!!

Role Descriptions

Each member of the Board has a responsibility to participate fully in the Chapter and make themselves available to the members.  Board members must attend board meetings, either physically or virtually.  Board members are expected to work for the chapter as a whole and coordinate efforts to fulfill the Chapter’s strategic initiatives while on the board.  In addition to these general Board requirements, below is a high-level list of tasks assigned to each VP role.

1. President shall be the chief executive officer for the PMI Dayton/Miami Valley Chapter and of the Board and shall perform such duties as are customary for presiding officers, including making all required appointments with the approval of the Board.  The President shall serve as a member ex‐officio with the right to vote on all committees except the Nominating Committee.  IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to be qualified for the President position, a nominee must be a current or past member of the Board.
2. Vice President ‐ Administration shall keep the records of all business meetings of the PMI Dayton/Miami Valley Chapter and of the Board. 
3. Vice President – Outreach is responsible for coordination and oversight of all activities related to academia, businesses, and communities to promote and provide project management support to scholastic, businesses, and non‐profit organizations.

Election Process

• All open Board Vice President positions and the President position will be elected by majority vote.
• Regardless of whether a position is contested by two or more people or has one candidate nominated, voting will take place for all positions to ensure that the Chapter members* have had their voice in the process.
• Should open positions remain unfilled after elections, the current President will subsequently select and present a suitable candidate to the Board for appointment to the position.
• Election results will be announced at an upcoming Chapter Meeting.

 * Membership status is determined by the PMI Global Operations Center chapter membership list. Chapter membership is additional to the general PMI membership. New memberships, or renewals, can take a few days to process and appear on the list, so please ensure your Chapter membership is active at least 1 week prior to the election.

Nomination Process

You should submit your nomination form via our website, which will submit the information to the Nomination Committee for review. All nominations must be submitted no later than 11:59 PM EST on Sunday, November 6, 2022.
