Education Foundation

Mission: The AITP Education Foundation's mission is the professional development of individuals in the information systems industry.

Research

The AITP Education Foundation is the research and development arm of AITP (The Association for Information Systems Professionals). It is a not-for-profit organization established in 1975 to meet the changing educational requirements of the information systems profession and industry, and to address the long term educational efforts essential to support the industry and DPMA (now AITP) members.

The Education Foundation, as an independent body representing practitioners, as well as educators and researchers, seeks to provide leadership in identifying educational opportunities that will advance the information systems profession.

Services

The Foundation objectives are to:

• Advance the education of information systems professionals in education, business, government, and the general public.
  
  
• Determine the needs and desires of information system professionals with regard to education and development.
  
  
• Develop and stimulate the use of educational programs for information systems evaluation.
  
  
• Conduct research and development activities related to educational courses and programs.
  
  
• Further the development of effective information systems curricula.
  
  
• Encourage the development and adoption of technical and managerial information systems standards and preferred practices.
  
  
• Develop and release publications in support of the Foundation's objectives.
  
  

Volunteers

The Foundation is governed by a six-member Board of Regents who are appointed by the President of AITP to serve overlapping three-year terms. Four Regents must be information systems professionals, educators, or researchers and two members may be appointed without regard to the person's profession. Four of the regents are selected from among the AITP membership and two are selected without regard to such membership. The Foundation makes extensive use of volunteer committees made up of AITP members and/or nonmembers chosen to support a single effort.
