Page 2, Q1. How satisfied are you with the PMI Minnesota Chapter’s recognition of new members and recognition of PMI credentials earned bymembers?

1 I was recognized via email, and at a Chapter dinner. Sep 20, 2012 9:13 PM

2 I am not sure what you are talking about. Sep 13, 2012 9:02 AM

3 As a new member the orientation offered prior to the chapter dinner was helpful and made me feel welcomed. Sep 11, 2012 4:18 PM

4 I recently joined the MN Chapter, and really am confused about what opportunities are available to me and when theytake place

Sep 10, 2012 7:57 PM

5 Did not see any Sep 10, 2012 3:33 PM

6 I only wish the current recognition was in place back when I earned my PMP! Sep 10, 2012 3:24 PM

7 I'm too new to the Chapter to have an opinion either way. Sep 10, 2012 3:09 PM

8 Think it is nice that you recognize/welcome new members and recent certifications by members at each meeting. Sep 10, 2012 2:27 PM

9 To be honest, I don't take advantage of the benefits of my PMI Minnesota chapter including recognition of new membersand PMI credentials earned.

Sep 10, 2012 1:33 PM

10 I have not yet received my member password (it has been nearly a month) Sep 10, 2012 1:04 PM

11 I just joined and need to become more active Sep 10, 2012 12:54 PM

12 To be blunt, I've had little time to be active in the Chapter. Sep 10, 2012 12:48 PM

13 Have yet to see this inaction, have yet to attented a meeting Sep 10, 2012 12:40 PM

14 It is nice that they make the effort to recognize folks at each meeting for their accomplishments. Sep 10, 2012 12:34 PM

15 I am too new of a member and I am not aware of the MN PMI Chapter's recognition yet. I don't believe i have seenanything on new members yet, but I could have missed it.

Sep 10, 2012 12:20 PM

16 I am not sure how they are recognized. That might be my fault though Sep 10, 2012 12:16 PM

17 There is not enough communication methods used to get this information out to members. Sep 10, 2012 12:14 PM

2 Satisfied with current methods Sep 16, 2012 10:46 AM

3 none Sep 13, 2012 9:00 AM

4 I prefer not having additional electronic correspondence. I like checking the website. Sep 12, 2012 11:39 AM

5 Communication is great - we don't need any more messages Sep 12, 2012 8:14 AM

6 Communication is sufficient. Plenty of options Sep 11, 2012 10:34 PM

7 Current email system works well for me Sep 11, 2012 4:18 PM

8 I'm fine with the e-mails that I receive. Sep 10, 2012 9:29 PM

9 I like the periodic summarized emails Sep 10, 2012 6:50 PM

10 current methods adequate Sep 10, 2012 3:53 PM

11 Fine as is, unless additional emails Sep 10, 2012 1:03 PM

12 I am so busy I need reminders I can simply add to my calendar Sep 10, 2012 12:54 PM

13 n/a Sep 10, 2012 12:46 PM

14 Please email individual events (on a special case by case basis). SOme of the news blasts are so wordy, that I can'tbegin to read them.

Sep 10, 2012 12:36 PM

15 All social media sites are OK opitions, being a professional organization LinkedIn is likely the best way to go. Emailcommunication is good as well.

Sep 10, 2012 12:20 PM

16 I'm satisfied with the current methods Sep 10, 2012 12:19 PM

17 None..ok as is Sep 10, 2012 12:14 PM

18 Doing fine with existing methods but I would like more notice. I usually find out about the events the day after theyhappen.

Page 2, Q4. How many PMI Minnesota events have you attended in the past 12 months (e.g. PDD, Breakfast, Dinner, Education Seminars, OutreachMeetings)?

1 Just haven't been able to due to schedule. Sep 24, 2012 8:53 PM

2 I never seem to look when they until its too late Sep 23, 2012 5:09 PM

3 Have been extremely busy w/ work. Sep 23, 2012 9:02 AM

4 The morning events on my side of town conflicted with my calendar at work. In addition, I recently started a new job. Theevening offerings conflict with my college course schedule or children's sporting events.

Sep 18, 2012 8:24 AM

5 The topics haven't been of interest to me. Sep 17, 2012 8:08 AM

6 I would attend more events if some were held in the north metro. Sep 15, 2012 6:13 PM

7 Too busy with other commitments, new job responsibilities Sep 14, 2012 9:31 AM

8 They are all located in the NW corner of the Twin Cities metro area which is difficult to reach with rush hour traffic. Sep 13, 2012 10:57 PM

9 Planning to start in October Sep 12, 2012 7:37 PM

10 The activities and subject material have seemed interesting and applicable. I have just had scheduling conflicts that haveprevented me from attending.

Sep 12, 2012 2:24 PM

11 I live in the NW metro which is the reason I do not attend more breakfasts and dinners. Right now the breakfasts in St.Paul and dinners in Bloomington are logistically difficult for me to go for only a few hours. It would be nice if once in awhile there was a breakfast or dinner in the mid metro or north metro.

Sep 12, 2012 11:39 AM

12 Work load has increased Sep 12, 2012 9:47 AM

13 Generally, I don't find the content of these events applicable to my work or really very interesting. Sep 12, 2012 7:40 AM

14 I recently moved to Illinois, although the local IL chapter is too far away. I plan to be in MSP again in another 4-5 years. Sep 11, 2012 7:33 PM

15 Timing and cost. I cannot afford some of the events, and I have been quite busy in the past months. Sep 11, 2012 4:39 PM

16 The dinner being on the same day of the week is difficult as I have a standing commitment that day. Would be nice if itvaried.

19 I have been real busy and have not had time, and most of your seminars are whne i am not able to tend. Sep 10, 2012 11:37 PM

20 Time commitments at work. I want to, but have been way too busy. Sep 10, 2012 9:37 PM

21 I am busy raising a family, working a career job, and am able to get my PDUs for free through my workplace. However, Ihave enjoyed the meetings that I attended in the past..it's just hard for me to fit them in & take more time away from myfamily in the evenings. A lunch meeting may work better for me.

Sep 10, 2012 9:29 PM

22 Don't know much about them Sep 10, 2012 6:08 PM

23 Not convenient to do in the locations and times offered Sep 10, 2012 4:22 PM

24 The timing and location have been difficult for me given my current work time demands Sep 10, 2012 4:17 PM

25 It is just hard to fit them into my schedule. Sep 10, 2012 4:07 PM

26 location on west side of town is extremely inconvenient, especially at rush hour Sep 10, 2012 4:04 PM

27 I've not found the topics to be compelling, meetings were not concise, too much of a time commitment, and I'm havingdifficulty being reimbursed. All the fluff is fine when in job transition and you're networking, but even that is restricted towho you're sitting next to at the dinners. I used to attend breakfast meetings, but they're over an hour away from myhome so that's a really early morning for me, which is fine if the topic is hot, but they haven't been. I am attending my firstLIG in some time next week

Sep 10, 2012 3:42 PM

28 I got my PMP certification only recently. I am planning to attend a few events in September Sep 10, 2012 3:33 PM

29 Difficult to find time in my schedule and I haven't made it a priority. Also, my role has changed from being a full-timeproject manager to a part-time PM (full-time functional manager)

Sep 10, 2012 3:22 PM

Page 2, Q4. How many PMI Minnesota events have you attended in the past 12 months (e.g. PDD, Breakfast, Dinner, Education Seminars, OutreachMeetings)?

32 They seem to generally take place on the very west side of the metro area and I live/work on the east side. Too hard toget there with traffic, etc.

Sep 10, 2012 2:50 PM

33 I manage informal rather than formal projects, and information provided in the current PMI vehicles mees that need. I amalso entirely swamped at work with no time to add other meetings

Sep 10, 2012 2:39 PM

34 New to the chapter and have not had time to attend. I will be attending Professional Development Days. Sep 10, 2012 2:32 PM

35 Have been a member for a few years and just started attending dinner meetings this year. They are interesting andworthwhile.

Sep 10, 2012 2:27 PM

36 Lack of bandwidth - I put in 14 -16 hour days which leaves me little time for outside activities Sep 10, 2012 1:33 PM

37 Live 2 hours away from metro.. outreach topics not of interest. Last PMI hosted training (servant leadership) did not meetmy needs when I attended.

Sep 10, 2012 1:21 PM

38 I joined last month, and have not yet received any credentials. Sep 10, 2012 1:04 PM

39 Its over an hour drive and it can be difficult to leave work earlier for me to arrive on time for the event. Sep 10, 2012 1:03 PM

40 They don't fit into my schedule very well. Sep 10, 2012 1:02 PM

41 Again, just joined a few weeks ago Sep 10, 2012 12:54 PM

42 Conflicts with events for my children Sep 10, 2012 12:49 PM

43 Little time to be involved in the Chapter. No fault with you guys! Sep 10, 2012 12:48 PM

44 recently joined Sep 10, 2012 12:47 PM

45 Monday's are good days for meetings Sep 10, 2012 12:46 PM

46 Location. Neither Plymouth or Bloomington are convenient. Sep 10, 2012 12:40 PM

47 I am located in Bismarck. Any Fargo events are held during the work week, which I cannot attend. I would only be ableto attend a workshop or seminar in Fargo on a Saturday.

50 Location and time conflicts Sep 10, 2012 12:25 PM

51 Too many other activities going on outside of work. Sep 10, 2012 12:25 PM

52 I have not received any communication to my knowledge regarding MN PMI events. Sep 10, 2012 12:20 PM

53 I was not a member until this Past week. Sep 10, 2012 12:18 PM

54 The email blasts are too long, the font too small, and they are confusing to read. The speakers are not higher profile.Would rather have less events but higher profile speakers. Need speakers from the business and CIOs.

Sep 10, 2012 12:17 PM

55 The dinners and breakfasts are always in the south metro which is very dificult for me to get to at the time of day you hostthem.

Sep 10, 2012 12:16 PM

56 I live in Woodbury and work in Roseville. The events that interests may happen in Plymouth - too much out of the way oraway from either of the places.

Sep 10, 2012 12:14 PM

57 Most events are not held in my area (upper Northwest Minnesota). It would be great if you are able to incorporate allmembers versus those that live in the Twin Cities.

Sep 10, 2012 12:14 PM

58 Too many projects occuring so far this year. Plus I have been volunteering my project management services to 2 non-profits.

Sep 10, 2012 12:12 PM

59 using my time to study for PMP Exam, hope to get involved after. Sep 10, 2012 12:11 PM

60 Generally am hearing about them after the events or only very shortly before (e-mail). Sep 10, 2012 12:10 PM

61 I am retired and still want to retain my PMP credential so I have been accumulating PDUs on line. Sep 10, 2012 12:09 PM

Page 2, Q5. Which PMI Minnesota events have you attended in the past 12 months? (Please check all that apply.)

1 I don't think we've had any Partner Programs to attend this year Sep 13, 2012 10:14 AM

2 I do participate in webinars, but not necessarily PMI. I tried to attend a PMI one a couple weeks ago, but the limit hadbeen reached. Perhaps tomorrow will be different, I also have attended St Cloud meetings. I could have checked severalof the boxes if it didn't say last 12 months

Sep 10, 2012 3:42 PM

47 Time - early morning is hard to do when it's on the east side of the cities. Sep 11, 2012 2:29 PM

48 work demands - little balance with work/life as is, so any extra time is for family (or early work meetings) Sep 11, 2012 12:04 PM

62 Location - I work in Chaska and can't get to events in St. Paul after work, and am late to the events in Plymouth. Perhapsa third location near the Sofitel in Bloomington or the Hilton in Eden Prairie could be added? It would be much easier formembers in the south metro and way south metro across the river to attend.

Sep 10, 2012 3:21 PM

85 available personal time Sep 10, 2012 3:18 PM

86 I do not consider attending 3-4 chapter events a year to be categorized as "rarely attend). It depends on workload at theoffice and home (both my parents were in hospitals this summer).

Sep 10, 2012 3:17 PM

87 I'm too new to the Chapter - but just keeping everything balanced dirves a lot of this decision. Have three young kids and& wife works, so timing, duration & location of events is a KEY factor.

149 Was not a member Sep 10, 2012 12:19 PM

150 The Chapter seems engaged in busy work not relevant to our mission. There is not a sense that local PMI can help moveproject management forward in the business community.

Sep 10, 2012 12:19 PM

151 Located in the south metro. Traffic makes it difficult to get there. Sep 10, 2012 12:18 PM

152 Inconvenient location Sep 10, 2012 12:17 PM

153 I prefer a location closer to downtown Minneapolis for the monthly dinner meetings. Although the Plymouth location isbetter then Bloomington, it would be nicer to be closer to the downtown location - I assume cost is a factor.

158 TRavel schedule for work has interfered, and location when in Bloomington is very far Sep 10, 2012 12:14 PM

159 Date and location - events at location near airport are not convenient when you work in the central part of the metro andlive on the north end of town. Generally only attend events at the Crown Plaza in Plymouth and PDD-Symposium.

1 provide more incentive Sep 24, 2012 8:54 PM

3 e-mail a schedule of events Sep 23, 2012 5:10 PM

4 Less emphasis on IT projects. Sep 23, 2012 9:03 AM

5 perhaps letting those unemployed have a greatly reduced cost or even free registration for breakfast or dinner event Sep 20, 2012 9:37 PM

6 More topics on portfolio management Sep 20, 2012 4:54 PM

7 More varied locations around the city Sep 19, 2012 3:34 PM

8 Having 3-6 months of topics planned ahead of time would help (a full year would be even better, but I know that could bea challenge)

Sep 19, 2012 10:22 AM

9 n/a Sep 18, 2012 8:36 PM

10 For me it's about location and time. I work in St. Paul and live in Wisconsin. Additionally, I have a very active life withwork, college and young children. I'm most likely to make the breakfast meetings in St. Paul when my work calendarpermits.

Sep 18, 2012 8:26 AM

11 interesting topics Sep 17, 2012 3:33 PM

12 Repeat events at each location instead of new events for each meeting Sep 17, 2012 11:04 AM

13 Nothing. It is more me making an effort to attend events. Sep 17, 2012 8:10 AM

14 I'll be able to answer better after attending an event next week Sep 14, 2012 9:34 AM

15 Do more east metro locations and more employment job fairs Sep 13, 2012 11:02 PM

16 More visibility - - need to see topic more easily so that I can react and register more quickly and not have to click throughand find the event information.

18 No changes requested Sep 13, 2012 9:01 AM

19 offering webinars (recorded or live); offer one-on-one welcoming to PMI-MN; have small group activities located in variousplaces; offer mentoring

Sep 12, 2012 9:20 PM

20 ?? Sep 12, 2012 7:39 PM

21 I think it is fine the way it is. I am just involved in a lot of other activities at the moment. My plan is still to work toward myCAPM certification.

Sep 12, 2012 2:27 PM

22 Have some events in the NW metro, downtown Minneapolis after work hours (e.g., 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.), or in a mid metrosuburb.

Sep 12, 2012 11:40 AM

23 Some of the topics are out of touch with current events. I'd like more specifics liek Agile and continuing certifications. Sep 12, 2012 9:48 AM

24 none Sep 12, 2012 8:14 AM

25 The events and topics are very interesting. Unfortunately time is not always available to participate. Sep 11, 2012 10:36 PM

26 not sure. i have been a pm for awhile so some topics interest me and others i already know about. Sep 11, 2012 10:07 PM

27 Nothing at this point. I will graduate with an MBA in Feb of 2013 and then be able to attend all the meetings that are heldon Monday evenings.

Sep 11, 2012 8:08 PM

28 I would like to participate remotely. It would be noice to see the presenter on camera with slides shown too. MSP has agreat chapter!

Sep 11, 2012 7:36 PM

29 have copies of presentation for the class before chapter dinner and the actual presentation Sep 11, 2012 7:15 PM

30 Offer more free events? Don't know if that is possible, but it would certainly bring me in more. Sep 11, 2012 4:41 PM

Page 3, Q8. What changes should the chapter look into in order to encourage your participation in chapter events?

35 None, I'm satisfied. Sep 11, 2012 11:10 AM

36 Since I am in between jobs, as much as I may like to attend breakfast or dinner meetings, cost is a hurdle in addition tothe challenge of meeting after hours (esp. because I have a family with young kids)

Sep 11, 2012 9:35 AM

37 Reduce cost of training sessions Sep 11, 2012 9:25 AM

38 Chapter has done a good job on topics, speakers, locations, and times. If I had more free time, I would attend more. Sep 11, 2012 9:22 AM

39 smaller more frequent meetings in various locations throughout the year Sep 11, 2012 8:01 AM

40 Update the website to be more visually pleasing. Sep 11, 2012 7:43 AM

41 I completely understand why the events are held in different metro locations so I don't think they can really do anything tomake it easier for me to attend.

Sep 11, 2012 7:32 AM

42 More east Metro events. Sep 11, 2012 7:28 AM

43 location -- have more meetings in the northern suburbs Sep 11, 2012 7:16 AM

44 not any am very satisifed. Sep 10, 2012 11:40 PM

45 Personal Email for upcoming events in advance Evening time after work hours Sep 10, 2012 10:09 PM

46 1. Location - find a central location in the Twin Cities - even consider downtown Minneapolis or downtown St. Paul. 2.Smaller group events - such as round table discussions more local to home or work.

Sep 10, 2012 9:45 PM

47 None, it's me, not the chapter that's an issue Sep 10, 2012 9:37 PM

48 A location in the south metro area Sep 10, 2012 9:31 PM

49 Lunch meetings (during work week) instead of evening meetings. Sep 10, 2012 9:31 PM

50 I did not know that volunteers earned $$ for their hours to use for chapter events. That should be publicized more. Sep 10, 2012 9:14 PM

51 webinars work nice, 1 hour, can be joined from your desk, leave if the topic isn't what you thought it was. Sep 10, 2012 9:11 PM

52 Email about specific events instead of just the news letter Sep 10, 2012 7:57 PM

55 I really appreciate having the meetings in Plymouth!!!!!! Sep 10, 2012 6:31 PM

56 Webinar. Save time and gas. Sep 10, 2012 6:09 PM

57 Webinar effects, or WebEx interactive events would be helpful during difficult weather and demanding workloads. Sep 10, 2012 5:39 PM

58 More online events or change the venue to meet more people in other areas of the cities Sep 10, 2012 4:23 PM

59 Consider moving the events around even more or hold a number of smaller events at more locations Sep 10, 2012 4:19 PM

60 Lunch meetings? Sep 10, 2012 4:09 PM

61 cost options for folks paying out of pocket. would love to go to the PDD seminars but $500/each is too expensive for meout of my own pocket. I am retired.

Sep 10, 2012 3:54 PM

62 Maybe have something for seasoned PM's, maybe discuss why projects were a success and why they weren't. Real lifeexperiences are always interesting ,i.e. the career path of a Minnesota PM.

Sep 10, 2012 3:52 PM

63 webinars Sep 10, 2012 3:50 PM

65 more events in the SW metro Sep 10, 2012 3:37 PM

66 Select more intereseting topics Sep 10, 2012 3:34 PM

67 More interactive topics, more in depth information, informal workshops Sep 10, 2012 3:21 PM

68 I think the chapter has attempted to vary time and location to be more accessible - it's my priorities that interfere. Sep 10, 2012 3:18 PM

69 An occasional venue in St. Paul or the eastern/north-eastern suburbs would be appreciated. Sep 10, 2012 3:17 PM

76 No suggestions as of yet, will start attending events this fall. Sep 10, 2012 1:47 PM

77 Offer full day or afternoon only meetings once a quarter, loaded w/good content and minimal cost; offset offering bygetting sponsor to pay for location. Love to see free for members, charge only for guests

Sep 10, 2012 1:40 PM

78 Nothing. It is very easy to understand and manage around. Sep 10, 2012 1:35 PM

79 bandwidth and scheduling issues are mine, not the chapter's. Sep 10, 2012 1:35 PM

80 Diversify away from IT-type speakers and topics. Sep 10, 2012 1:30 PM

81 After house/Weekends or online Sep 10, 2012 1:27 PM

82 Interaction with the members, Sep 10, 2012 1:26 PM

83 Better education on their value. Sep 10, 2012 1:22 PM

84 Do more surveys of what people are looking for. Sep 10, 2012 1:22 PM

85 You do a great job. For me personally, face to face sessions that are 2 hour to 1/2 day sessions would be better worth mywhile to travel so far.

89 Provide more reminder emails. Ask user if they would like to get reminder emails. Have cost of dinners be coveredunder yearly membership. My company pays for yearly membership, but would be time consuming and inconvenient toask for reimbursement monthly.

Sep 10, 2012 1:05 PM

90 Having the credentials sent to actually join up would help. Sep 10, 2012 1:04 PM

91 not sure - by the time I hear the specifics of an event, my calendar is already booked with either work or personal events Sep 10, 2012 1:04 PM

92 Find a way to make PDUs available for free. I am dropping my PMP next year after 3 years because it is not worth the$600+ to get PDUs for renewal.

102 if taping monthly speakers is possible for viewing online at a later date that would be awesome. Sep 10, 2012 12:45 PM

103 Perhaps this is already available: Sessions for people like me who try to influence those loosely running a project;suggesting processes and highlighting risks without telling the person what to do. Sessions on using your skills inpositions that aren't specifically project management.

114 I attend many of the LIGs, but I usually skip the dinner and attend just the meeting since I am gluten intolerant. I have 50+min of time to kill between meetings. It would be nicer if that time was shorter. Perhaps starting the meeting before themeal was done, or at least start announcements before dinner is done? I have belonged to other societies where themeeting occurred at the same time as the dinner. This would allow the meeting to end a little sooner too.

8 I intend to participate this year, need PDUs to maintain PMP Sep 14, 2012 9:34 AM

9 information relevant to project management training and employment opportunities. Sep 13, 2012 11:02 PM

10 I think they are educational and it is good to meet people around the cities to network with. Maybe more networkingevents where you can meet people in like industries or company size.

Page 4, Q10. Please rate the value to you for each of the following activities/programs available as a result of PMI Minnesota Chapter dues ($30/year) paidby Chapter members.

1 I am not familiar with some of these programs, like the new member buddy program. Maybe there needs to be morepublicity about some of these programs. I rely on email and going to the PMI MN website for information on upcomingevents.

Sep 20, 2012 9:17 PM

2 too many questions in this question # Sep 19, 2012 10:24 AM

3 I wasn't aware of a new member buddy or orientation program. Sep 15, 2012 6:17 PM

4 Clean up the Web Site home page to make it clearer and faster to locate event information or links to information Sep 13, 2012 10:23 AM

5 I am a new member this year and I did not know anything about the "New Member Buddy Program" or "New MemberOrientation". Which might be why I am not aware of a lot of other programs. The PMI-MN.org site is a little outdated andnot very clean and easy to view when not familiar with the website.

Sep 13, 2012 9:08 AM

6 When I was a new member a few years ago, I was never contacted about buddy program or orientation; actually knowvery little about the above items. Attended PPD to pass test, attended one job fair, volunteered for one year (my first yr).Was road warrior for a long time & could not attend events in person.

Sep 12, 2012 9:25 PM

7 Nice list of chapter opportunities in survey - wasn't aware of a few of them that were available; an 'MN MemberOpportunities' quick link from the home page to this list and then more details for each would be extremely valuable.

Sep 12, 2012 7:44 PM

8 I have to say that I did not know that all of these existed. I am generally not pleased with organizations that recognizeindividual contributions because in moste cases there is a team involved.

Sep 12, 2012 7:45 AM

9 All the NA's are do to my lack of familiarity with these items. Sep 11, 2012 7:39 PM

10 I have volunteered for two years to be part of the mentoring program and have been told both times that I would becontacted when the upcoming mentor/mentee assignments would be made and have never been contacted. I will notvolunteer again. I wish that information on future events would be posted sooner on the website. I know that this is aproblem with those who are supposed to be contributing that information and not because of the webmaster. I need toplan 1-2 months in advance to ensure I can attend seminars and educational sessions and most of the time I can onlysee the current month plus maybe some of the next month's offerings. I do not like to use social media as acommunication tool and rely on email to alert me to upcoming events. I know that there is a fine line between effectivecommunication and spam, but I would like to see an email from my local chapter on upcoming events about every twoweeks. I'm much more interested in that communication than I am in LinkedIn conversations or from PMI Global.

a good metric and needs to be addressed.

12 I think the chapter website could use a redesign. Very busy. Hard to find stuff. Sep 10, 2012 9:34 PM

13 I have wanted to attend the PDD/Symposium for years, but my company won't reimburse me for attending due to the highcost (there stance is that there's much cheaper ways to obtain PDUs).

Sep 10, 2012 9:34 PM

14 Too many activities listed!!! Sep 10, 2012 9:16 PM

17 Have tried to make contact with the Mentoring Program. Have not gotten any response. Is the program still active? Sep 10, 2012 4:51 PM

18 speakers are inconsistent...sometimes really good, sometimes not... PDD has sometimes had really disappointingspeakers. try to have a more even balance of vendors and practical experience. sometimes too many vendors.

Sep 10, 2012 3:58 PM

19 Is there reliable salary info by industry, level, and whether certified or not within various markets? Sep 10, 2012 3:51 PM

20 As a new member, I am not familiar with a lot of the above resources. I may have missed an opportunity to learn, butdon't recall being offered. The New Member Buddy thing sounds like a "quick start" opportunity and way to get moreinvolved and take advnatage of what's being offered, since I feel like I'm in the dark on most of the above questions. I didfind the website to be not very friendly, as I recall.

Sep 10, 2012 3:18 PM

21 Difficult to answer some of these questions. Although I have not taken advantage of the career networking group and/ornetworking with recruiters, I am glad it is there in case I need it in the future. Also, wasn't aware or can't rememberanything about new member buddy program or orientation - maybe needs more communication to new members aboutthose. Maybe you did it and I can't remember. I joined about a year ago.

Page 5, Q13. If PMI MN were to send out an electronic welcome packet to new chapter members, rank the importance of each of the possible contentsfrom 5 to 1 with 5 being very important to 1 being not at all important.

1 Description and contacts related to the different programs offered Sep 18, 2012 8:12 AM

2 explain benefits to me of various aspects of PMI-MN Sep 12, 2012 9:31 PM

3 More emphasis on the welcome member opportunity programs like new buddy, mentoring, etc. Sep 12, 2012 7:48 PM

4 I ranked the PMP exam prep as not important because my belief is that people join the chapter after they have theircredentials. If my belief is incorrect, then I would rank this as somewhat important.

Sep 12, 2012 11:44 AM

5 The 3 rankings are because although the info is important, the timing of it is too soon. Sep 11, 2012 7:43 PM

6 Ask for what members anticipate getting from the chapter events or membership in general Sep 11, 2012 9:39 AM

7 Primary rason people join the chapter are 1) Get thier PMP certification, 2) Network, 3) earn PDU's - that is what thevideo should focus on. I can figure out the website on my own.
