I called them about a week ago, asking for a membership
information kit. The kit came in the mail today, which
gives the address and phone.
They publish "The Project Management Journal" 4 times a
year, and have a magazine "PM NETwork" published 12 times a
year. A one year membership is (all US$) $90.00, with a
$10.00 application fee for new members. Local chapters have
fees also, with $20.00 being the typical amount. Apparently
you can join without being a member of a local chapter.
Overseas air mail is $45.00 for mailings outside the US and
Canada.
There is a certification exam for people wanting the Project
Management Professional (PMP) designation. Examinations are
held quarterly at various locations. Contact PMI for
details.
No mention is made of any BBS access (though I have heard
rumors that a BBS exists), nor is any mention made of an
email address. I would expect any details to be given in
their magazine."
