From Albert Einstein: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".
We all know that in a rapidly changing world, we must adapt to new circumstances. This is true, even of CMG - the needs and interests of our members have evolved. Even the way we access or obtain information has changed. So, each year, we elect new leaders to guide CMG to those new interests and needs. These leaders need to be visionary - they must anticipate change. They must connect with us to determine what we keep and what we adjust to support our evolving needs and interests.
Are you someone like that? Someone who is both devoted to the mission of CMG and willing to support change as our profession evolves? We need your help - people who will lead our organization through change and shoulder the responsibility of making CMG the premier resource for all information technology/resource management issues.
Are you someone like that? Someone who has new ideas and wants to contribute to the organization and profession? If you think you are, please, consider becoming a candidate for one of the positions listed below. This year CMG will elect:
