WELCOME TO ITMAThe West Michigan Chapter of ITMA (Information Technology Management Association) has undergone a transfer of ownership and a revitalization of its membership. Jerry Engle, Founder of CPR has purchased ITMA through his holding company Credo Ventures, LLC. “The value of CIO’s from various companies in one room understanding each other’s pains, but more importantly offering solutions cannot be quantified. The need to continue ITMA in West Michigan was evident when multiple members approached me encouraging me to keep it going.”
The Michigan-based ITMA is designed to put IT Executives face to face with industry experts and other IT department heads who are focused on the important issues of the time, such as: Security, Help Desk Systems, ERP, and Enterprise Portal Development. ITMA has a proactive mission to do one thing really well: Assist IT executives in doing their jobs better by providing access to sources of knowledge, a local IT management peer group, and new ideas on IT management.
Monthly meetings are held at CPR, as well as specialized discussion groups. Current Company Sponsors of ITMA are Crowe Chizek, Varnum Riddering Schmidt and Howlett, Hedrick Associates, Profitable Growth Partners, LLC and CPR.
For information on joining ITMA contact Jerry Engle at 616.575.8500.
