After six years Vladimir Videnovic has stepped down as National President of  The Institute for Information Management (IIM). The new National President is Dr Janine Douglas, a consultant who is currently President of the Western Australian Branch of IIM, and has served on the IIM Board as a Regional Director for two years.

Dr Douglas has extensive experience in strategic information and knowledge management as well as experience in various positions in several professional associations.

In taking up the position, Dr Douglas thanked Vlad for the many selfless hours he devoted to IIM and to the role of President. “It is obvious that you are highly respected, and well-known and well-liked by the IM community. I will do my best to build on the fine work you have done on our behalf.”

She also acknowledged the dedication and enthusiasm shown by the Board, and is looking forward to working with them to grow and develop IIM. Dr Douglas has flagged that she is keen to finalise an IIM Strategic Plan and implement a program of activities and services for the benefit of its members and their organisations.

If you have any comments or suggestions for the IIM, Dr Douglas is happy to be contacted at Janine.Douglas@iim.org.au
