About PMI Luxembourg

The origins of the Luxembourg Chapter go back to around 2003, when a small group of PMI Belgium Chapter members in Luxembourg saw the need for a local presence. A number of local evening events were organised in 2004 and 2005 on subjects such as Risk Management in Project Management, The EU Presidency: A Pilot for a Project-Oriented Organisation, and Project Portfolio Management.

The concept of a local Luxembourg Section began to gain credence, and with the full support of the Board of PMI Belgium from March 2005, the Luxembourg Section was formally launched in January 2006, at an event on Organisational Project Management Methodology (OPM3) attended by the past chair (2005) of the PMI Board of Directors, Mr. Louis J. Mercken, MBA, PMP.

One further event was held in 2006, and from 2007 onwards the Luxembourg Section has organised four events per year, together with regular participation in the annual Congrès Gestion de Project (Project Management Congress) organised by Luxembourg's Centre de Recherche Public Henri Tudor.

PMI Belgium provided the Luxembourg Section with a great deal of autonomy, and over the course of time the need for a local Chapter became more evident, and with the full support of PMI Belgium an application was submitted in early 2010 for a separate PMI Luxembourg Chapter.

The Chapter is managed by a Board of Directors:

  • President - Jan McIntyre
  • Vice-President - Brigitte Dethier
  • Secretary - Laurent Vergnol
  • Director of Finance - Renate Zaininger
  • Director of Membership and Volunteers - Charles Delancray
  • Director of Events - Rita De Meulemeester
  • Director of Professional Development - Madhumalti Sharma
  • Director of Outreach - Elodie Josse
  • Director of Communication - Rudy Kech
  • Immediate Past President - Laurie Causton

The post of Director of Sponsorship is currently vacant.
