AIPM and IPMA Link Up
The International Project Management Association (IPMA) has voted the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) the representative association for Australia. In announcing the agreement, Dr Bill Young pointed to the symbolic change which has added an international dimension and global recognition to the local association. “Most importantly,” he wrote to association members, “it will enable our competency certification standards to become internationalised in the future.”
The AIPM also won the hosting rights for the 2011 World Congress for Project Management, which will take place in Brisbane.
Project Management Showcase
PMI South Australia Chapter and the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) are joining forces to present an action packed project management Showcase on 6 November.
