Ambassador Program


The Oregon Project Management Advisory Board has an Ambassador program for OPMCP graduates. The Ambassador program offers opportunities over a six-month term for a recent OPMCP graduate to learn more about the Board's goals, initiatives, projects, and acquire hands-on experience managing one of the Board's initiatives. The candidate will also gain further understanding of the state's project management and project oversight processes, and benefit from directly applying the project management skills and practices gained through the OPMCP. Only one ambassador will be selected from each cohort.

  • Grow your awareness of what the OPMAB does to promote and enhance Project Management throughout Oregon
  • Collaborate with Board members on developing new initiatives
  • Help Oregon state government with the direction of project, program, and portfolio management for all state employees

  • Professional Development Units (PDUs) supporting your PMP certification
