Insights and inspiration for project professionals

You may have already heard—PMI Belgium Chapter is among the last to adopt the new PMI® Membership model. As we make this important shift, our Board of Directors is fully committed to supporting you through the transition.

This unified membership model is designed to create a more seamless and connected experience for all members. By combining the benefits of PMI Global and the Belgium Chapter into one streamlined membership, it will be easier than ever to stay engaged, informed, and supported throughout your professional journey with PMI.

Why is the Unified PMI® Membership Model Important for the Chapter?

The unified PMI® Membership Model matters for three key reasons:

1. Chapter Health
   A vibrant and expanding community is essential to the long-term success of PMI Belgium. This new model is designed not only to grow our local membership base, but also to support the chapter’s financial and operational sustainability.
2. Member Retention
   As we embrace a more connected and collaborative model, our chapter plays a vital role in fostering strong member engagement. By focusing on member needs, delivering quality events, and creating opportunities for growth and networking, we aim to strengthen satisfaction and retention—ensuring PMI Belgium remains dynamic and future-ready.
3. A Unified, Stronger Network
   The new model opens the door for even more professionals to join PMI Belgium, creating new opportunities for connection and collaboration. Together, we’re building a stronger, more diverse professional network—right here in Belgium.

What Are the Benefits for Members?

There are several benefits to embracing the unified PMI® Membership Model:

• Simplified access: One fee includes both PMI Global and PMI Belgium Chapter membership.
• Expanded network: Enjoy access to a broader network of professionals, locally and globally.
• Enriched experiences: Participate in exclusive, high-quality events and programs.
• Diverse industry connections: Connect with professionals across various sectors to gain new perspectives.
• Local expertise, global insight: Engage in intimate, community-focused activities while staying connected to global trends and best practices.

 

We’re excited to share that our Vice-President, Pierre Van de Leemput, has taken on the role of Project Manager to lead the transition. Working alongside Tim Gaens (Director of Membership), Edi Venturin (Director of Marketing & Communication), and Giuseppe Di Maria (Director of Finance and Administration), Pierre is guiding this important initiative with dedication and a strong focus on member support.

This passionate team is here to ensure that you—our valued members—are ready to embrace the benefits of this new, streamlined membership experience.

To support you through the transition, we’ll be organizing webinars, info sessions, and events where you can learn more about the model, ask questions, and understand how it impacts you as a PMI Belgium member.

The full implementation of the unified PMI® Membership Model is set for 1 January 2026, and together, we’re building a stronger, more connected PMI Belgium Chapter for the future.
