Today, Dec 2004

A group of thirty content management authorities has announced the formation of CM Professionals (www.cmprofessionals.com). CM Pros offers a members-only mailing list, a collaborative Website, discussion forums, a job board, a professional directory and a calendar of face-to-face meeting opportunities.

"CM Professionals is a membership organization that enables content management practitioners to share information, practices and strategies," said CM Professionals President Bob Boiko, author of the "Content Management Bible" and director of the University of Washington iSchool CMS Evaluation Lab. "This organization is needed to help move the discipline of content management forward, helping practitioners avoid the pitfalls and costly mistakes made by others."

"CM Professionals will raise awareness of content management as an essential discipline that builds value, both financial and human, for companies and organizations," says Ann Rockley, author of "Managing Enterprise Content" and secretary of CM Professionals.
