IPMA has a local Member Association in over 55 countries. The Young Crew within the IPMA is focused on raising visibility of the PM Field for students and young professionals under the age of 35. It follows the example of IPMA by creating independent bodies within the national Member Associations.

- Austria
- Croatia
- Czech Republic
- Finland
- Germany
- Italy
- Latvia
- The Netherlands
- Poland
- Portugal
- Slovenia
- Spain
