Maria, it’s hard to believe it’s been over 10 years since I first began volunteering with PMI. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of serving in several capacities, including:

1) Online Community Champion
2) PMI LinkedIn Group Moderator
3) PMO Awards Judging Committee Member
4) Contributor to Certifications and Courses Development
5) Member of the PMO Strategic Vision Team

Volunteering with PMI has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my professional journey. It’s not only allowed me to give back to a community I deeply value, but it’s also enriched my own growth, both personally and professionally. The connections I’ve made, the knowledge I’ve gained, and the impact I’ve seen reaffirm the power of volunteering in shaping the future of project management.

I'm proud to continue contributing to PMI's mission and to be part of such a passionate and forward-thinking global network.

Hi Maria,
From February 2024 to April 2025, I enthusiastically volunteered with PMI, embracing a variety of roles and responsibilities. Throughout this period, I had the honor of contributing in several meaningful capacities:

1. Online Community Champion
2. PMI Infinity Testing Opportunity
3. PMI Infinity Volunteer SME
4. Membership Communication Coordinator (Bangladesh Chapter)

Being part of PMI has not only enriched my understanding of project management but has also allowed me to contribute to a cause that is shaping the future of the profession.

The collaborative spirit and shared passion within the PMI community have been truly inspiring.

I am continually motivated by the dedication of my fellow volunteers and the collective impact we are making. Together, we are not just advancing our careers but also paving the way for future generations of project managers.

I look forward to continuing this journey and contributing to the ongoing success and growth of PMI.
