The ITAM Forum is overseen by a Board of Trustees. These are professionals from the world of ITAM and associated industries. They perform a governance role and help to develop initiatives to push forward the ITAM industry.
Positions on our Board become available every year, and we aim to completely refresh our Board every three years. We entered our second year with a large number of Trustee applications – from all over the world. We’re thrilled so many of our peers want to get involved and help progress our profession.
Please join us in welcoming the following individuals to our Board. For our Trustees who are leaving the Board, thank you for the outstanding contributions you’ve made to the ITAM Forum and to our profession!
