Three of the winners will serve a two year term. One will serve a one-year term, replacing Scott Abel who assumed the role of Executive Director part-way through his term.
Incoming Board Members
The incoming board members are:
Joan Lasselle, who proposes to build a “franchise model” that allows local CM Pros organizations to startup quickly and grow rapidly so as to establish a strong local presence for broader participation and growth.
Linda Burman, who says she is up to the challenge of ensuring that every top professional in the extended world of enterprise content management (CMS, CAI, DAM, IR, KM, metadata, etc) belongs to CM Pros.
Travis Wissink who, as a founding member and working volunteer, envisages the leadership and management of the CM Pros to be global thinkers and local actors, to strengthen our local connections through our global community.
Emma Hamer, who aspires to inform, educate, and promote the concepts of significant business transformation and manage the human aspects of change.
Erik Hartman, outgoing president of CM Professionals, comments on the new Board Directors: “Every CM Pros Board Director should be able to contribute their experience to the advancement of the CM Pros organization. After seeing the names of the new directors, with whom I am well acquainted, I believe that CM Pros will be in good hands. It is the people and their dedication that make up the most important part of any organization.”
