2011 PMI Volunteer Role Delineation Study Results GOOD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU STAY INVOLVED WITH PMI. 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.
