== History ==
The Association for Project Management was founded in 1972 as the UK branch of INTERNET, now the International Project Management Association. Weaver (2007) recalled, that:
:"The UK branch of INTERNET (now the APM), was originated by the ‘pioneering seven’ whose meeting at an INTERNET (later IPMA) expert seminar in Zurich in 1971 inspired them to start a UK branch, which held its first meeting in London in May 1972. The first executive meeting on INTERNET(UK) was held in the lobby of the Sheraton Hotel, Stockholm on 13 May 1972 during the 3rd annual world congress of INTERNET. Jack Grimshaw was the original chairman, others in the founding group included Dr Jim Gordon and Dennis Gower. Annual membership fees were set at ₤1, and within a month membership had reached 78 (PMI at the time were charging ₤7).<ref name="PW 2007">Patrick Weaver (2007), ''[http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/PDF_Papers/P050_Origins_of_Modern_PM.pdf The origins of Modern Project Management].'' p. 22-23 footnote</ref>
With the emergence of the [[internet]] in the 1990's, the global project management association INTERNET was renamed International Project Management Association (IPMA) and the UK Branch Association for Project Management (APM).<ref name="PW 2007"/>
