Celebrating 25 Years of Project Management Excellence in New Brunswick
The PMI New Brunswick (PMINB) Chapter proudly marks its 25th anniversary in 2025. Founded in 2000, the chapter was incorporated on May 19, 2000, and officially chartered on June 19, 2000.
Over the past quarter-century, PMINB has grown into a vibrant community supporting thousands of professionals. As an official PMI chapter, PMINB serves New Brunswick’s business, educational, and professional communities through chapter activities such as workshops, lunch-and-learns, study groups, networking opportunities, and more. The chapter’s first 25 years have been dedicated to advancing the practice of project management while building a strong network of practitioners and volunteers.
