Governance Project
Pressures for Change
Project Objectives
More Effective Governance Practices

Pressures for Change
The pressures for change to the governance structure include:
Chapter growth
Director workload
Customer care and program responsibilities
Director Development.

Project Objectives
Provide new governance structure and Bylaws to the board for approval by February 15, 2005
Ensure Board Of Directors spend at least 80% of their time on governance activities and approximately 20% of their time on non-governance activities by December 2006.
Design the Board of Directors roles so that each Director spends no more than 50 hours per year on PMI governance and program management responsibilities by December 2006.

Governance Survey Findings
Volunteer / Officer / Director Organization, Selection & Progression:
Approximately 100 Members serve on committees and task forces to help off load Directors of Non-Governance tasks.
Volunteer VP Officers appointed by Board lead all committees.
VP Finance is a Board member who is appointed indefinitely, but reviewed annually by the Board who has a profession designation.
Elected Directors at large (i.e., they have no named program responsibilities)
2 directors advise a committee
4 Named Directors – President, President Elect, Past President (and the appointed VP Finance)

Workload Objectives & Time Management:
Set annual hourly targets for each volunteer class:
Director = 100 hours; Officer = 150 hours; Member = 30 hours
Each volunteer class completes timesheets
Adjust committee / board structure to ensure targets

Election Terms:
Directors elected for a two year term
Directors can serve for 3-5 terms on the Board with a 2 year term as President
Volunteer / Director Development:
2 hour Board Orientation (bylaws, strategies, finances, liability), PMI Leadership
Half day Volunteer Orientation (Chapter overview, PMI leadership principles)
