I am a chapter member and am not receiving chapter emails, what can I do?

Please verify the email you listed with PMI Global under pmi.org.

If the email address is correct, check your spam folder. A firewall or spam filtering service is likely the cause of the issue. However, you can white list several domains and IP addresses to ensure safe delivery.  Depending on your e-mail service, you may be able to do this yourself, or you may need the assistance of your IT administrator. 

You may also have unsubscribed from chapter mailings, in which case you will not receive any newsletter emails.
