All of our events align with the CMI Professional Standard for Management and Leadership skills e.g. Personal Effectiveness, Interpersonal Excellence and Organisational Performance - each of which have multiple sub topics. CMI will focus on highlighting and promoting one overarching topic from the Professional Standard each month to which your event topic and content must align. For more information, see the Professional Standard Wheel and the

Schedule of Themes .

With support from your Regional Manager, and once you and the Board have discussed your event concept in more detail, including the aims and objectives, theme and content, date, time etc, you can then complete the Regional Digital Event Request Form .

This will enable the CMI Events team to support you with the next stages of organising and delivering your event. Once you have completed the google form a member of the events team will be assigned and become your CMI Events lead. They will be in touch with you to start the ball rolling.
