Description
About CIDM
In 1999, Dr. JoAnn Hackos created the Center for Information-Development Management (CIDM) to answer the needs of information-development managers around the world. Many managers felt isolated from their colleagues in other companies. They communicated that they would like a forum to discuss the issues in their department, develop industry best practices, and keep up to date on new technologies in the field. CIDM was established to meet these needs and develop a community of managers around best practices.
Membership in CIDM is by department rather than by individual so that all members of the department can benefit from the membership. In 2002, CIDM began its vendor member program, understanding that vendor tools are an important component of success in this time of high-tech solutions to information management. In 2005, as small publication departments asked to become involved in the information-development management community, CIDM established a membership category for small departments.
CIDM has grown since its inception. In 2006, CIDM has 32 regular department members, 13 vendor members, and 6 members from small departments, with a total membership base of more than 350 individuals.
