Hello!

I have been in Qatar for the past 8 years. I work and live here now. I know there are lot of PMI members in Qatar working in various industries.

I was wondering how and if it is feasible to create a chapter here. The nearest chapters are in UAE and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

If yes, how would I go about it?

Nasir -

I'd recommend reading the content on this PMI web page first about establishing a new Chapter: https://www.pmi.org/membership/~/link.aspx...1879DEFBAA&_z=z

Thank you Kiron. I have reviewed the content. So before I complete the form, I am looking some first hand experience and advice.

Thx

I lived and worked in the Gulf. Local Chapters is a wondeful constructive idea for the PMI itself as an institution as well as for the individual.

Hi Nasser,

I also wondered why we don't have a chapter here in Qatar. Please let me know if you have made any progress in creating a chapter in Qatar. When I contacted PMI customer service, they informed me that there has been a chapter in Qatar since 2008. However, I couldn't find it in the list of chapters. If you are still interested in creating a chapter or have made any progress, please let me know so that I can support you.

Hello All, I have applied for a Qatar chapter request through PMI website. I will update you regarding the outcome. However, it would be very good to be at least 15 people in order to meet may be somewhere and discuss accordingly.

Hi Aghalar and interested members,

The chapter formation is in good progress. There are a number of legal requirements that have to be met from PMI and government level. PMI Team members from the Middle East region and volunteers have been actively working on it and it is now very close!
