What is PMImpact?
PMImpact is a call to action for all changemakers to make their mark on the world by inspiring, demonstrating, and enabling social good impact.
Changemakers are individuals around the globe who wake up daily to figure out how to drive sustained change in their organizations and communities. They have enormous potential to do good by using their project management skills and are uniquely positioned to help address problems, resolve issues and meet needs around the globe. Changemakers impact by dedicating their skills, expertise, and time to helping their communities and advancing social causes. By applying and inspiring leadership, vision, motivation, and problem-solving skills, these individuals help others reach their goals.
PMI is rallying all changemakers to participate in our pledge to support the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (UN 17 SDG), designed to be a “blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all.” The time and service hours PMI volunteers commit to social good causes directly support the UN 17 SDGs
