Founded in 1967, the International ProjectManagement Association (IPMA) is the world’s oldest project management professional organization. IPMA is an international network of national project management societies. While these national societies serve the specific project management development needs of each country in its national language, the IPMA as an umbrella organization represents them at the international level.  The IPMA is truly a global organization with member associations throughout the world, including some 40 national representative bodies spread across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.  The local bodies promote project management professionalism on the specific cultural requirements across all types of projects. IPMA’s internationally acclaimed 4 Level Project Management Certification Programme continues to grow dramatically. Obtaining IPMA certification can go a long way towards enhancing employment opportunities as evidenced by the 50.000 IPMA Certified Professionals who have acquired this status. IPMA annually presents project management awards to project management teams that achieve, and can prove, great feats in project management. IPMA maintains its continuous presence in the global project management arena through its regular hosting of International Symposia, Expert Seminars and its Annual World Congress.  For more information, visit www.ipma.ch.
