	Our focus is to reflect the true image of women in the project management workplace.  WiPM SIG Overview - 2007 Atlanta, GA
The WiPM SIG "came back to life" bigger and stronger after a period of inactivity. In 2001, the SIG received a PMI award for regeneration. We now have over 2,000 members worldwide, 15% of whom are non-US located, including over 500 members with the Project Management Professional (PMP) credential. Although our name and logo implies "women only," that's not the case--we have approximately ten men who are members of our organization. From the male perspective, WiPM provides a unique opportunity to learn first-hand about both the similarities and differences in gender as applied to our field. Probably the biggest challenge we face is to attract and retain dedicated volunteer leadership, but that problem is common to most, if not all, of the PMI Components. We review our strategic initiatives and goals yearly to determine how best expand or enhance our member services. 2003 has been a busy year, focused on extensive revisions to our communications tools such as the web site re-design, implementation of an eMentoring program and officer elections. While the types of services we provide are standard, we try to gear them with a female twist. Please browse our web site to learn more about our News Brief (6 times a year), special programs such as our eMentoring Program, Yahoo Community, and our volunteer opportunities.
