CM Professionals, a group of content management professionals from around the world, elected its first formal Board of Directors. The new Board roster includes: Ann Rockley, President; Erik Hartman, Vice President; Seth Gottlieb, Treasurer; Samantha Starmer, Secretary; and Frank Gilbane. The election marks a kind of coming of age of the organization, which was formerly launched in October, 2004. Now with more than 250 members from around the world, CM Pros is expanding rapidly. The new board – which take the reins from an interim board – will be charged with converting a variety of strong program ideas from members into active initiatives. Early accomplishments include a resource gallery, active mailing lists, and a successful member “summit” in Boston, USA. CM Professionals is the premier community of practice for people involved with managing content for electronic and other media. CM Professionals collects, develops, organizes and provides access to knowledge about content management through online resources, email interaction and face-to-face summits.
