PMI Central Indiana Chapter Blog

In today’s fast-paced business climate, traditional sponsorship often falls flat. Slapping a corporate logo onto a banner or event program simply doesn’t generate the ROI or deep audience engagement modern organizations need.

At PMI Central Indiana Chapter (PMICIC), we believe in a fundamentally different model: the most impactful partnerships are built, not bought.

Whether your goal is B2B lead generation, brand awareness, thought leadership, or talent recruitment, PMICIC provides a direct line to Indiana’s premier community of project, program, and portfolio leaders.

Led by Champions for the PM Community

When you partner with PMICIC, you aren't working with an automated portal or rigid account managers. You are collaborating directly with champions of the project management community.

Leading our sponsorship initiatives are Carol Baker (VP of Strategic Partnerships & Marketing) and Tyra Babington (Program Director of Partnerships).

Together, Carol and Tyra have earned a reputation across Indiana for value delivery and personal commitment to sponsor success. They don't just sell packages—they advocate for your brand, connect you directly with key decision-makers, and ensure every partnership delivers a measurable return on investment. Under their guidance, sponsorship becomes a collaborative relationship focused on long-term mutual growth.
