Now is the time to showcase your seasoned leadership skills, help drive the strategy of PMI-San Francisco Bay Area Chapter (PMI-SFBAC), and to realize the future of Management. We invite you to stand as a candidate to lead the foremost resource of Project Management in the SF Bay Area.

PMI-SFBAC is holding elections for the following positions on the Board:

The Director-at-Large has the full voting rights as all other directors but without the additional duties and responsibilities associated with being a Board Officer.
• President (1-year term)*: The Board President serves as the Board ambassador and acts as a spokesperson to the larger community on all communications except Board delegation.

• Treasurer (1-year term)*: The Board Treasurer is responsible for assuring that the Board achieves its fiduciary obligation to the chapter. Because of the legal ramifications, the Treasurer manages financial planning and management activities not delegated to the CEO.
