DAMA International is delighted to announce that it has retained Profectus Association Management to provide executive director services to the organization. Profectus principal, Gina van Dalen, CAE, will be providing the management services specified under the contract. "We are very fortunate to have identified a firm and a principal that are exceptionally qualified to help DAMA-I continue to grow and mature as an organization," said Peter Aiken, chair of DAMA-I's Board of Directors, in announcing the contract.

Gina brings over 20 years of extensive experience in managing professional associations. She has demonstrated exceptional leadership in various roles, including her position as Executive Director at Computer Science Canada, where she successfully stabilized the organization's finances and enhanced member services. At TechNation, Canada's ICT trade association, she spearheaded the development of the Talent division, where she developed and managed major federal grants for innovative workforce development programs. Gina's expertise also extends to developing and managing accreditation and professional certification programs, as evidenced by her work with the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS), the Canadian Coalition for Tomorrow's ICT Skills (CCICT) and the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) IP3 initiative, where she established national learning standards and developed ISO-aligned certification and accreditation programs. Her strategic vision and collaborative approach have consistently driven transformational change and innovation in the non-profit sector.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to work with DAMA International as it implements its plan for strategic growth, and eager to help it drive forward its mission of empowering data management professionals. Together, we will elevate the standards and practices that are crucial to the success of our global community," says Gina van Dalen.

Interest in creating new DAMA Chapters is increasing. The need to spread the word on the relevance of having a formal Data Management practice as a foundation of digital and data-centric transformation initiatives is evident.
