Dr. Zerby has clarified the PDUs for Seminar Organizers. Her is a summary of Dr. Zerby's response: Speakers earn 10 PDUs under Category Two as "Speaker on a project management topic at a conference, Symposium, or workshop". Facilitators earn 5 PDUs for a session between 1/2 hour to an hour in duration under Category Two as "Member or moderator of a project management panel discussion at a conference, Symposium, or workshop". Project Managers organising the seminars would earn 5 PDUs. The Project Managers would be committee members of the "Seminar Programme Committee" and under Category Five of the PDP, each committee member would earn 5 PDUs per year for their participation, regardless of the duration of service.

PDUs earned by audience participant are clear but other > participants PDUs are not clear. Please respond to following questions so > I can report the earned PDUs correctly. > 1. How many PDUs do presenters earn? Is the professional development day > similar to a conference, symposium or workshop so the presenter earns 10 > PDUs? We think that 10 should be earned since the setting is more advanced > than a Chapter meeting. Yes, speakers would each earn 10 PDUs under Category Two as "Speaker on a project management topic at a conference, Symposium, or workshop". > 2. At the last professional development day we found that it would be > better to promote more discussion with the audience for some of the > topics. After some of the presentations there was lots of discussion but > others had very little discussion. We have experienced facilitators lead > the after presentation discussion. Does the facilitator earn additional > PDUs? If so how many? If they are not the same person as the presenter, and the duration is reasonable (say at least a 1/2 hour to an hour), they may be able to earn 5 PDUs under Category Two as "Member or moderator of a project management panel discussion at a conference, Symposium, or workshop". > 3. We have a project manager organizing this professional development > day. Can he claim PDU for service to a professional organization even > though his service term is less than a year? In other words can we divide > the 5 PDUs per year that can be claimed by people serving on committees or > task forces of a professional organization between more that one person? Under Category Five of the PDP, each committee member would earn 5 PDUs per year for their participation, regardless of the duration of service. > Thanks, > > Dale Hawley, PMP PMI ID #: 204081 |
