Veteran Project Manager Mentor Alliance

Empower and equip service members, veterans, and their spouses with the skills and resources needed for successful project management careers through personalized mentorship, professional development programs, and a supportive community.

Our Foundation: Mission, Vision, and Values

At VPMMA, our core purpose is to empower and equip military service members, veterans, and military spouses to achieve excellence in project management careers through mentoring and professional development. We envision ourselves as the most sought-after partner for guiding veterans on their journey to becoming project managers.

Our four core values underpin these aspirations:

• Commitment: We uphold integrity, transparency, and ethics in all our operations endeavors.
• Empowerment: We empower all military service members, veterans, and military spouses to pursue rewarding and prosperous careers in project management.
• Community: We actively cultivate a strong and supportive network by collaborating with other veteran agencies and partners to provide the best resources, tools, skills, and training.
• Advocacy: We offer a unified voice for project managers for the industry, government, military, veteran affairs, and the wider community.

Whom We Serve: Our Valued Community

Our alliance is dedicated to fostering the professional development of U.S. military service members, veterans, and their spouses. We accomplish this by offering various membership options, including General Membership for service members, veterans, and their spouses, along with Professional, Corporate, and Nonprofit Partner Memberships for individuals and organizations that wish to engage more deeply with our mission. Our goal is to be the premier resource for this community as they pursue or advance their careers in project management within the civilian workforce.
