Well I had a speel all lined up until I just saw my influence drop from 71 to 65 in the last hour, despite numerous posts and being second most active on this site for some time. You really should look at that algorithm!
I think the site had an overall change. I saw the same surprise on influence. Maybe one day we’ll get a post from PM.com to Explain.
Also the inbox is much faster to open today!

Marjorie,

I use to be active at my local chapter. Now more active on-line and hope it help people.
Local chapter involvement was easier to claim for PDUs. Not that I need to claim any PDUs.

I also contribute in other none profits

It's akin to a correction in the market perhaps since others have noted the same huge drop.

Hello Abolfazl and Sante,

The influence scores are not meant to be static, but are more based on how you interact and contribute within the community and how often. You can find more information below:

To keep this thread on topic, if you have additional questions about influence you can e-mail [email protected].

Thank you!
that's intersting Marjorie, as the last week my content has been more "often" which is why it rose to 71, and then yesterday after what I would consider the same if not more content than usual, its dropped 6 points within 1 hour of checking my profile.

Besides my daily contributions in the PM community, I volunteer in my own community in many different ways including mentoring new PM Aspirants, answering questions, giving advise and through my work as well as I work with many non-for-profit organizations.

As part of my work, I supervise young people during the accademic stages or as part of a training for social and professional integration in our structure or elsewhere. This aims to complete their university education which in my country is still very theoretical.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to speak to groups of High School students about the profession and how project management can have an immeadiate impact in their everyday lives. I think a few of them listened. :)
Great idea! Good for you.

I'm focusing on professional development through sharing my views and listening to what others have to say. This forum is a great way to keep professionally active. Networking, presenting, speaking and having conversations are all great ways of trying to make a difference.

I recently accepted a volunteer position for liaison lead for PMIEF for the Chicagoland area. I hope to increase engagement of our membership and utilization of our resources to promote social good locally and globally. I feel we have such a large, talented and knowledgeable membership base to work with.
