South American successes for IPMA
The International Project Management Association (IPMA) Latin America and Caribbean Countries (LACC) Project is achieving excellent results. The Mexican and Peruvian subprojects have been completed, and the main project continues with other Latin American countries such as Chile under the management of Dr Jesús Martínez-Almela.
The basic conceptual and strategic targets of the IPMA LACC Project are:
-
To identify the interested parties in each country
-
To help establish an IPMA Member Association (MA) and Certification Body (CB) in each country
-
To help establish the strategic operations in each country
-
To help establish the collaboration between established and future Member Associations and Certification Bodies
-
To help take advantage, and to become more competitive in promoting the new IPMA products and services
-
To help increase IPMA presence and influence in the LACC area
The Mexican and Peruvian subprojects achieved completion when the two prospective member associations presented their membership applications to IPMA Council of Delegates at the council meeting at The Hague, Netherlands, on March 27th 2010. It is expected that the Chilean application will be presented to IPMA Council of Delegates at their next meeting in September 2010.
