With up to date numbers on PMI membership, certifications by discipline, chapter memberships, also by country, region, age, gender and various other demographics. Most of us look for this information every now and then.

HI all,

Just want to chime in and remind you that if you're a PMI member, this information is listed in each monthly issue of PMI Today. If you don't receive the print edition, you can find the digital editions and archives by going to PMI.org, clicking on the Learning tab at the top of the page and choosing PMI Today under Publications.

Marjorie, thanks for posting this information. However, I went to the site, and looking over the current issue and past issues, I was unable to find a comprehensive list of chapters or their statistics.

Thanks Marjorie, it would be nice to see demographic breakdown too. Is there info on Chapter numbers as well?

The assumption is that PMI has this data. Since PMI chapters are not directly managed by PMI, there is no guarantee this information would be collected or maintained at the chapter level. Some chapters have their member count available, but some did not have or I simply could not find.

When looking at more granular details, past numbers and credential holders, there may possibly be the need for some type of consent or waiver clause required to share. (?)

But in considering the happy path, yes, statistics would be interesting to scan through.

All chapters have member data but there's no mandatory requirement for them to share any of their information on their websites. I remember when I was a board member more than a decade ago, we'd get a monthly extract from PMI with key info such as how many new members had joined and how many had not renewed.

I am pretty sure PMI has all this data, probably not all for public but I would agree that seeing such statistics would be great.

Hi everyone,

Chapter statistics are not included in this information. Because it's a high level overview of membership and certification holders as a whole, it's not necessarily meant to provide information on over 300 chapters.

However, I can certainly pass this feedback on to see if there is a way to provide this information at a high level in the future.

Thanks for your feedback, all!
