I agree with Steven, experience is primary. PMI is not necessary but it can
be a good way to network and learn. You don't have to be a PMP - you can
just join the organization and see how it goes. I manage the Breakfast
Roundtable for the NYC chapter, and I can grant a few exceptions to the
registration fee for non-members. Send me an email at shawn@xxxxxxxxxx if
you are interested - please don't reply to the list.
