Take the Next Step
BPMA board members make a commitment to the BPMA and its initiatives to grow and develop its members' careers. We also make a commitment to our fellow board members with thoughtful and timely collaborations and communication. Therefore, please apply if and only if you know you have the time to serve this commitment to the organization and its people. Most roles require 10 hour monthly time commitments spread across individual team leadership, board director meetings and engaging with our member community.
