Role Description: Chapter Volunteers support the planning and delivery of PMI OVOC programs, events, and member services in a full-time, hybrid role based in Ottawa, ON, with some work-from-home flexibility. Day-to-day activities may include assisting with event coordination, supporting communications and social media, helping manage chapter initiatives, and providing administrative support to chapter leaders and committees. Volunteers may help with member outreach, tracking registrations, preparing meeting materials, and collecting feedback to improve chapter offerings.

This role offers opportunities to gain exposure to project management, expand a professional network, and contribute to the local project management community.
