CM Professionals Launches Communities in Australia, Canada West and Benelux
Silver Spring, MD (PRWEB) October 6, 2005
Content Management Professionals (CM Pros), the international content management community of practice, today announced that three geographic communities have been formed under its new member-driven committee process: The CM Pros Australia Community, The CM Pros Canada West Community and The CM Pros Benelux Community.
Steering committees for The CM Pros Canada West Community and The CM Pros Australia Community have been formed. In Australia, co-chairs David Warwick and James Robertson are joined by Lauren Bryan and Matthew Harris. In Canada West, chair Rahel Anne Bailie is joined by Nenad Furtula, Fred Hoeflok and Jeff Sinclair.
The CM Pros Australia Community will provide Australian content management professionals with networking opportunities, a forum for topics of interest, promotion and education on content management and developing mutual opportunities. The group’s next meeting is scheduled for October 17, 2005 in Middle Park, Victoria.
“Web content management remains a rapid growth segment in Australia and it is rare in its ability to pull together professionals from a broad cross-section of the business community from content creators, publishers, marketers, company executives, designers, programmers, integrators and vendors,” stated David Warwick, co-chair of The CM Pros Australia Community. “The CM Pros Australia Community offers significant networking and information sharing potential that does not exist in any other Australian professional forum. Without any promotion, our growth in a matter of weeks to 28 members highlights the pent-up demand in our corner of the world.”
The CM Pros Canada West Community will provide a local forum where professionals engaged in content management can learn and share information about content management to further the body of knowledge in this field. The group’s kick-off program meeting was held October 3, 2005 in Vancouver where the group convened around the theme “Putting the Content Back into Content Management.”
“Content management is the next big efficiency initiative since the Web,” said Rahel Anne Bailie, chair of The CM Pros Canada West Community and president of Intentional Design (http://www.intentionaldesign.ca). “Content management is already making a big difference to companies who have implemented it — implemented it properly, that is — and will have a huge impact across all industry sectors and sizes. We can’t afford not to have a forum where professionals of all stripes — practitioners, vendors, and the business sector — can come together to discuss strategies and emerging best practices.”
The CM Pros Benelux Community will provide content management professionals with networking opportunities, a forum for topics of interest, promoting and professionalizing content management in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, and educating on content management. The group will also assist new communities in other European geographies with their start-up and ongoing activities. The group’s first meeting was held on October 5, 2005 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, at which time a steering committee was elected among candidates Daniëlle Kolmer, Maarten Korz, Adriaan M. Bloem and Erik M. Hartman — all of The Netherlands — and Peter Hinssen of Belgium.
“This new community enables innovation and knowledge sharing within a regional group of individuals that share interests and experiences,” declared Maarten Korz of De Lage Landen Financial Services (http://www.delagelanden.com). “The combination of an international organization and a high degree of topical and local activity gives CM Pros members the breadth and depth we need to be effective content management professionals within our region.”
Erik M. Hartman is one of the founders of CM Professionals and currently serves as Vice President of the Board of Directors. “It was a real honour to be the only European member who has been voted as a Board Member. As the international organization matures, it’s time to focus on local Benelux activities.”
Participation in CM Pros communities offers members the opportunity to build professional networks through face-to face-interaction and intensive collaboration. These first three CM Pros Communities united more than 100 members in a common purpose: to support content management professionals as they strive for excellence in this increasingly important discipline.
“CM Pros Communities enable more frequent, directed and meaningful member interaction,” affirmed Frank Gilbane, a member of the CM Pro Board of Directors and CEO of Bluebill Advisors (http://www.bluebilladvisors.com), and publisher of The Gilbane Report (http://www.gilbane.com). “Our unmatched knowledge exchange programs facilitate an overall increase in the degree of quality content management professionals can achieve for their customers and employers.”
