Previously the PMI UAE Chapter was free to join. Why is there a fee now?

PMI UAE Chapter Chartered in 2014, the chapter has just started and engages all of the seven Emirates as part of its directive and plan. As part of the PMI Organization, we are required to charge a membership fee to registered members in order to serve the membership base with activities and events.  Without your contribution we would not be able to facilitate a relationship to provide training events and arrange for speaking engagements.  The PMI UAE Chapter is here to serve the members and we will be looking for your feedback to support the Board direction.
