Are you a project management professional seeking to “give back”?

How about a desire to share your knowledge and experts?

What about shaping the future of project management, not just locally but also internationally?

And if you are just itching to do more, looking for opportunities to work with smart people, develop or strengthen a global perspective, or want to “make a difference”?

 

We are members of the U. S. Technical Advisory Group 258 (US TAG), accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Name / Title

Senior Researcher

Why I Joined?

I got involved in PM standards because I was responsible for project management implementation and training in my organization. I wanted to be sure that PM standards met the needs of my organization.

Why I Stayed?

I continue to work in the US TAG and in PMI standards because: 1. I think that I have something to contribute, and 2. I continue to teach PM at the graduate level, using the standards, and I want to be sure that the standards meet the needs of my students (and conform to the perspective that I want to present to my students).

Program Manager

I joined the USTAG because at that time I was the PMO Director for an international company and very interested in the thought of an international standard around project management.

I remained a member all these years because I found the work challenging and the experiences ones that otherwise would not have been available to me.

CEO, CPO, & Professor

I joined US TAG because it was the right time (and thing) to do. I owe my career to so many people – my first manager Janice who showed me that being nice is never out of fashion to one of my last mentor who taught me the intricacies of working on global teams. I also felt that I have reached a level that I am “good enough” to share my knowledge and experience with others.

I remained an active member because of the opportunity to work with so many intelligent people. It gives me the opportunity to visit other countries and learn about how they manage projects. Knowing that I am adding value to global standards also helps too.
