Presidents’ Council

About the Presidents’ Council

The DAMA International® Presidents’ Council is a collaborative forum where the presidents of DAMA®’s local chapters come together to share insights, discuss challenges, and align on global initiatives. The Council fosters open communication and strengthens the worldwide DAMA® community by providing a platform for knowledge exchange, best practices, and chapter collaboration.

Meeting Schedule & Participation

  • Meeting Frequency: Monthly
  • Format: Virtual meetings via Teams
  • Who Can Attend? Participation is open to DAMA® Affiliated Chapter presidents or their designated representatives. Leaders of Forming DAMA® Chapters are also welcome.

How to Get Involved

Chapter presidents receive meeting invitations directly. If a chapter leader cannot attend, they may designate an alternate representative. Questions or topics for discussion can be submitted in advance via info@dama.org
