Join your fellow project management professionals for an evening of celebration, insight, and forward-looking strategy at the 2025 PMI Tucson Holiday Party and End-of-Year Annual Meeting as we celebrate our achievements and activities. This event isn’t just about ringing in the holidays—it’s an opportunity to step back and see the bigger picture of our profession in action.

As PMI Tucson transitions into the newly combined PMI Arizona Chapter Southern Branch, we’ll explore what this change means for members, the continuity of our events, and how the chapter plans to continue delivering value in 2026. You’ll get an insider’s view of chapter performance, including year-end membership stats, the total PDUs offered, and the highlights from collaborative events like the AZ PM Summit Day with PMI Phoenix.

Take a guided journey through the chapter’s accomplishments, from operating expense insights to the strategic impact of partnerships, such as our exciting new collaboration with Tucson Unified School District—bringing in-person events to the Howenstine Education Center, improving accessibility, and creating meaningful community impact. Hear directly from incoming PMI Arizona board members about their vision and how they plan to strengthen our professional community.

Beyond the data and planning, the evening includes recognition for volunteers and board members who make this chapter thrive, plus opportunities to network and connect with peers in a professional yet festive setting. There’s even a chance to give back, with a donation page and QR code for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.

Whether you’re curious about how our chapter metrics translate to actionable insights, or you want a deeper understanding of how local chapter strategy aligns with professional growth, this event promises a one-hour immersion into the nuts and bolts of chapter operations, strategy, and community impact—perfect for expanding your business acumen while celebrating the season.
