More ABPMP Chapters Forming

ABPMP is rapidly growing both domestically and abroad, according to the August status report, from the ABPMP national team. There are currently eight chapters forming: Boston, Charlotte, Montreal, Nordic, Paris, Panama, Phoenix, and Vancouver. Also, China, Lebanon and the UK have all inquired about forming chapters. So far the Brazil chapter has the largest membership at 66 with Philadalephia not far behind at 59. ABPMP membership is now 448 strong; August saw an increase of 48.

Spread the word
It’s encouraging to see the chapters increasing, but we still have a long way to go to become the largest business process management professional group. So, do your part and spread the word. Share your enthusiasm of BPM with your friends and colleagues, point them to the ABPMP website and invite them to the next chapter meeting!
