Chairman, Society for Information Management (SIM) Atlanta Chapter

(2008-2015)

Successfully nurtured the evolution of the Society for Information Management (SIM) Atlanta Chapter for nearly a decade. Society for Information Management (SIM) is a premier non-profit national community of senior information technology (IT) practitioners, reputed academics, and other thought leaders. I was elected Chairman of the Board for seven consecutive years. During this period, I have worked closely with business leaders to run the organization. From vision development to day-to-day operations, I have been a very hands-on leader in managing the organization.

During my tenure as Chapter President, SIM Atlanta, through donations and contributions, indirectly touched 6.5 million people and over 100 other non-profit organizations. Each year several scholarships were given to outstanding students of SIM member institutions in the region.

As SIM Atlanta Chairman, I was also instrumental in starting the SIM Atlanta Student Fellowship program where the selected students were not only awarded $1000 scholarship money but also got to attend all SIM Atlanta events for one full SIM year (September to June), network with members, and work on special projects and activities that will give them a flavor of IS leadership in action.

I was nominated for the SIM Leader of the Year award in 2014 and 2009.

The following testimonials are reflective of my contributions as the leader of this organization:

“I’ve known Dave for more than 10 years, and I’ve worked with him on the SIM board. He’s very dedicated to the things that interest him, and his interest in SIM has been a key factor in its success under his chairmanship. He’s a very personable guy, but he doesn’t settle for anything less than meeting his goals. During Dave’s tenure, SIM membership has increased, a golf event was created that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity, and the quality of speakers at SIM meetings has improved. Some of those changes have come from Dave’s direct work, and some have resulted from key board members who Dave persuaded to participate in SIM’s work. I’m honored to have known Dave and to have worked with him at SIM.”

I recommend Dave highly.”

He tirelessly promotes SIM International’s activities and opportunities amongst our membership. He brings a wealth of ideas to the table and then works with SIM members and the broader IT community to bring them to fruition.
