2011 PMI Volunteer Role Delineation Study Results
About this Brochure
Along with providing background information and reasoning behind the Role Delineation Study, this
brochure briefly describes and summarizes the study and its results. Perhaps more importantly, it includes
full descriptions of ten important volunteer roles that support effective chapter management.
Introduction
With over 270 chapters around the world, each with different challenges, cultures and traditions, it is not surprising that there are over 406
volunteer leader titles in the Component System. Many of these titles, however, refer to very similar roles across chapters, regardless of the
geographic region in which these chapters are based.
The purpose of this study is to help PMI develop a consistent approach to how the PMI Chapter Volunteer Roles are described and, thus, how
PMI can more effectively provide relevant and timely development opportunities to our volunteers on a global level.
The results of this study will assist in content development for face-to-face Leadership Institute Meetings and virtual learning activities
available via PMI Learn. Additionally, it will assist in the volunteer recruitment process by enabling PMI to more clearly post and describe
volunteer roles and will ultimately help to advance leadership continuity.
Volunteer Role Delineation Study Methodology
PMI solicited input and sought consensus from approximately 300 leaders, representing chapters from around the world regarding the important roles and activities of chapter volunteers. This study was conducted through a series of five volunteer workshops, studying ten of the most prevalent elected roles at the chapter level. These roles included:
President
Secretary
Vice President/President Elect
Vice President of Finance/Treasurer
Vice President Membership/ VP of Member Services
Vice President of Governance and Policy
Vice President of Volunteers
Vice President Marketing
Vice President of Professional Development/VP of Education
Past President
The results of these workshops were then validated by 407 PMI volunteers. Here are the survey statistics:
1
2195 current chapter leaders received an email invitation to a web-based survey
502 leaders responded to the survey, of which 407 qualified to participate
25% response rate
Leaders rated up to two out of the ten roles, depending on which roles they currently hold or previously held
2-week field period: 8/18/11–9/2/11
Volunteer Role Delineation Study Results
Regardless of the role, four leadership skills were identified as essential to all volunteer roles included in the study, and they are:
Communications Skills
Organizational Skills
Relationship Building/Networking Skills
Strategic Thinking — Skilled in Strategic Planning Process and Execution
The results of the study are organized
into the following categories:
Role Description
Roles and Responsibilities
Role Specific Skills
Leadership Skills (in addition to those listed above)
Average Volunteer Hours Per Month
Average Years of Project Management Experience
Average Years PMI Volunteer Experience
Future Role Studies
This study is part of a larger effort to better meet the needs of all of PMI’s global volunteers. Additional role studies are planned for additional
chapter roles, as well as communities of practice and all of the Institute’s volunteer leadership roles.
To ensure that the roles remain relevant to changing conditions, the Chapter Volunteer Role Study will be refreshed on a three-year cycle.
