DAMA is a global community of Data Management Professionals organised around local membership based chapters. The chapters are supported by DAMA-International who maintain the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBoK) and the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) certification.
DAMA’s primary purpose is to promote the understanding, development and practice of managing data and information as key enterprise assets to support the organisation.
DAMA Southern Africa is a local chapter, and our aim is to nurture a community of data professionals in Southern Africa who champion the value of data management. The benefits of membership are based on our four main offerings.
The Southern Africa Chapter was formed in 2006 and we hold monthly Chapter meetings providing interesting and educational presentations and discussion forums on data management subjects. These meetings provide significant networking opportunities.
