Society for Information Management (SIM) is a professional organization of over 5,000[1] senior information technology (IT) executives, Chief Information Officers, prominent academicians, selected consultants, and others.

History

Society for Information Management Logo (prior to 2014)
Society for the Management of Information Systems Logo (prior to 1982)

The idea of SIM began during a break session at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) conference held in Las Vegas in August 1968.[2] A conversation between Robert Head with the Software Resource Group and Herb Schwartz with the United States Atomic Energy Commission ensued on how current professional societies did not emphasize the managerial aspects of computing enough nor did they serve as a good communication mechanism between data processing managers and executive managers. That conversation was the basis for the formation of The Society for Management Information Systems (SMIS) which in 1982 became the Society for Information Management.[3]

A founding committee was formed and the first meeting was held on November 22, 1968, at the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in Washington D.C. The founders included Joseph P. Cunningham, Richard E. Dooley,[4][5] Dr. James C. Emory, Robert B. Forest, Robert V. Head, Dr. Alan J. Rowe, James G. Rude, M.H. Schwartz, Robert G. Stevens, W. Robert Widener and Robert K. Wilmouth.

The first (founding) conference titled "Bridging the Gap Between the Management Function and Information Technology" with 250 attendees was held at the University of Minnesota on September 8–9, 1969.

Advanced Practices Council (APC) is a forum for senior IT executives who commission exclusive research and share cross-industry perspectives.[16] APC was founded in 1991 by Warren McFarlan of the Harvard Business School.[17]

STEM Outreach

In 2005, the Society for Information Management (SIM) published a paper entitled "Trends and Implications for the IT Workforce." Academics engaged in teaching Computing courses all over the country were interviewed to gauge the current and future state of IT workforce development. One of the most startling findings, borne out by enrollment statistics, was that enrollment in Computing programs in U.S. colleges and universities was falling at alarming rates. In some programs enrollment had declined as much as 75%. Other programs had ceased to exist. The implication was that the U.S. was falling behind the rest of the world in developing a Technology workforce and would continue to do so unless something was done to reverse the trend.

As a result SIM developed the Future Potential in IT program to reach out to college students to encourage them to pursue degrees and careers in Information Technology. For the last several years, with the encouragement of SIM International, Future Potential in IT and similar IT Career Days have been conducted on a regional basis by SIM chapters at area colleges and universities. As originally envisioned Future Potential in IT was a half-day program conducted on college campuses. Chapters have had the freedom to design their local versions. A typical program would consist of refreshments, the opportunity to network with current IT professionals, and one or more speakers. Speakers are usually IT executives from local companies the students recognize. The program might also include a panel consisting of graduates of that institution who have successful careers in technology, complete with a "question and answer" period allowing the students to quiz senior IT professionals about their career choices.

Students have enthusiastically received these programs and have even helped organize and present them. At an event held at Northeastern University, all the seats were filled and many students resorted to sitting on windowsills. At every institution where a Future Potential in IT or IT Career Day event has been held, enrollments have increased.

SIM and its Chapters continue to recognize the importance of reaching out to influence college students’ choice of major. But they have also recognized the need to engage students much earlier in their education. SIM Chapters have begun to participate and sponsor STEM initiatives across the K – College level spectrum. This has included Chapter partnerships with YearUp, donations nearing $200,000 annually in college scholarships and a mix of locally designed and national programs such as: "IT for Girls," "icStars," "NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing," "CyberGirlz Technology Camp," and various other Teen Tech Camps.

The 2012 Chapter Leadership Summit, held in St. Louis, was attended by the top leaders from SIM Chapters across the country. At that Summit Chapters approved a proposal to expand the boundaries of the FPIT program to encompass all present STEM-related initiatives and to serve as a vehicle to encourage the identification and exploration of such programs at the Chapter level. The goal is for STEM initiatives which succeed in one chapter to be shared with other Chapters. We believe synergy among the Chapters will leverage our STEM Outreach. Beyond that goal, SIM and its Chapters will be involved in both helping teachers to introduce the broad variety of Computing degrees and career choices and influencing the curriculum employed to prepare the next generation of IT workers.

A recent analysis shows that involvement in STEM Outreach is central to most existing SIM Chapter Community Outreach programs. SIM Chapter Outreach will continue to support other philanthropic efforts, but STEM initiatives are expected to expand. This "transformed” Future Potential in IT program, re-branded STEM Outreach, will help SIM fulfill a key part of our mission, promoting careers in IT. STEM Outreach serves the best interests of our Society, our members and the organizations --- for-profit, non-profit, government and academic --- which employ them. STEM Outreach initiatives are featured every year at SIM's Annual Conference.

SIM's Annual Conference

SIM holds an annual practitioner-driven conference designed for and by CIOs and senior level IT executives. Working nationally with key senior IT executives, CIOs and recognized thought leaders, the annual conference addresses the topics, issues, best practices and trends that will give our audience the technology-related insight necessary to make the right decisions to impact their business strategies and future IT direction.

From 1995 to 2002, the conference was called SIM Interchange Annual Conference.[18]

From 2003 to 2016, the conference was called SIMposium.

In 2018, the inaugural SIM Connect Live conference replaced SIMposium as SIM's annual conference. The event, held at the Sheraton Dallas on April 11-13, 2018 was a great success. SIM's 50th anniversary was celebrated at the conference.

SIM Women

SIM Women is a network inside the Society for Information Management to promote communication, mentorship and career development amongst the female members.

In January 2007 SIM Women began a phased roll out starting with the New Jersey, NY Metro and Fairfield-Westchester chapters. In April 2007 the ladies of Philadelphia were added, and in February 2008 the ladies of Boston joined SIM Women as well. There was great participation from each new chapter. In May 2008 the ladies from Central CT and the DC/Capital area were added. In August 2008 the ladies of the Toronto and Raleigh chapters joined. In September 2008 the ladies of Tennessee, Central and South Florida chapters were asked to participate, and Atlanta and Alabama joined in October. In December 2008 the Wisconsin, Minnesota, St. Louis, and Northeast Ohio chapters were welcomed. In January 2009 ladies of Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Indianapolis joined the ranks. Chicago and Detroit ladies joined in the Spring of 2009. SIM women continued to add chapters every month and covered every SIMI chapter by June 2009.[23]

To date, SIM Women has held monthly conference calls and multiple successful networking events. SIM Women’s conference calls are typically the last Wednesday of the month at 3:00 pm EST. Executive coaches, successful CIOs, and networking gurus are brought in to facilitate the calls and meetings. Topics covered included: Personal Branding, Peer Communication, Defining Your Personal Success, Internal Networking, Personal Accountability, Industry Visibility, and Mentoring Defined. SIM Women also rotates face-to-face networking events around the country.

Regional Leadership Forum (RLF)

Regional Leadership Forum (RLF) is an intensive, ten-month leadership development program focused on creating authentic leaders. Since 1992 over 3000 graduates and more than 300 sponsors have found RLF the key to developing leadership effectiveness. RLF offers a curriculum of intense reading,[24] open exchanges on leadership practices, and interactive learning focusing on team-building, creative thinking and listening skills.

Founded by Richard Dooley, the first Regional Leadership Forum was held in Chicago in 1992 and was originally called the "SIM Chapter-Hosted Learning Forum".[25]

Executive Regional Leadership Forum (ERLF)

ERLF is SIM's Executive Regional Leadership Forum and is designed for designed for high altitude leaders. The Executive RLF builds executive competence, broadens influence power, grows executive capabilities, deepens the power of presence, and advances the career journey.

In our 21st century world of ever-accelerating change and fierce competition, the need for highly capable leadership at the executive level has never been greater. As leaders climb upward on their career journeys, they will find themselves in the new terrain of a more complicated world where both the stakes and risks are higher ... where they are less dependent on management ability and more dependent upon leadership and influence abilities.

Executive RLF offers important platforms to: raise consciousness about extending oneself amid the increased complexity when rising through the organization; expand worldviews on relationships and communication at every level; develop, demonstrate and utilize influence power; enable mental presence amid stress; and build intellectual power and strength in order to be influential, have impact and make a difference.

Award programs

The SIM Leader of the Year award provides a means for SIM to recognize member contributions to the growth, advancement, and excellence of SIM at the local level. Individuals may nominate themselves or another deserving candidate within SIM. The selection committee, made up of a cross-section of SIM members, evaluates all nominees and selects the most qualified candidates, regardless of chapter size. Four to six winners will be recognized on stage at SIM Connect Live annually.

The STEM Outreach awards provide a means for SIM to recognize chapter contributions of volunteerism and thought leadership for STEM Initiatives. There are four distinct awards to recognize contributions. The award categories are: STEM Pioneer: recognizes a Chapter STEM Outreach Committee Chair, committee member or a chapter board member whose contributions have significantly advanced local STEM initiatives over multiple years. Most Inspiring Leader: recognizes an RLF or Chapter Member who is deeply and personally involved in STEM programs/initiatives and has led innovative programs to recruit and mentor STEM students or young professionals during the past year. Chapter Award – STEM Innovation: recognizes a SIM Chapter who sponsors a significant community outreach initiative highlighting technology innovation, STEM career opportunities, and other types of outreach. STEM Non-Profit Partner Award: recognizes a non-profit partner who has worked closely with a SIM Chapter to make a significant impact in advancing STEM Educational opportunities.

The Friend of RLF award: The RLF Team annually selects an individual as a "Friend of RLF" who has given their time and talents to further the goals and values of RLF to our community of sponsors, graduates and future participants.

Boston Chapter

Boston Chapter Website. The geographic area of Boston Chapter members consists of Eastern and Central Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island. The Boston Chapter of SIM was formed through the efforts of Dick Harris, John Dacey and Edgar Canty. In the Fall of 1976 Mr. Harris, who was then ClO at Colonial Gas, was at a meeting in Chicago at which SIM National (then called the Society for the Management of Information Systems - SMIS) was encouraging chapter formation. Harris obtained a listing of SIM members in the Boston area, and called Canty and Dacey to arrange an organizing meeting. The organizing meetings were held at Babson College through the Fall of 1976 and into the Spring of 1977 and, in addition to Harris, Canty and Dacey, involved Don Brown, Les Ball, Chris Bullen and Charles Hewitt.

The first Boston SIM meetings began in the Fall of 1977 with the meeting locations alternated between Babson College and the MIT Faculty Club. Dick Harris was the first Chapter Chairman, and Jerry Kanter was the first speaker. The Articles of Organization were submitted to the Massachusetts Secretary of State’s office in May 1981, signed by Edgar Canty. The officers were Les Ball, President; Dave Callahan, Clerk; and Arthur Sarazini, Treasurer. Chapter Directors were Bill Synnott, John Dacey, Dick Harris and Dave Callahan. The Charter of Incorporation was received from national SMIS on June 18, 1981.

The Boston Chapter's programs include the MIT Sloan School of Management CIO Symposium, The Leadership Development Roundtable, SIM Silver, Sharpen the Leadership Saw, CIO Roundtables in both the Providence, RI and greater Boston areas, a Practitioner's Roundtable, a Consultants Roundtable, a Help Desk Roundtable and two all-day CIO Summits/Forums. It currently supports the following Outreach programs: Year Up, Teen Voices, Common Impact and Tech Boston.

Portland Chapter Website

The Portland Chapter of SIM was initially formed as a satellite of the Seattle SIM Chapter in 1996 through the efforts of Bill Harrison, Norm Alexander, Liz Alexander, Bill Henderson and Fred Pond. Independent since 1999, the Portland Chapter primarily draws members from the Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington areas but also has many active members from the Salem and Corvallis regions. As of mid-2012, the chapter boasts more than 170 active members. The region is home to 1.3 million people, over 20 colleges and universities, two professional sports teams and is a center for the apparel industry, especially footwear with such names as Nike, Keen, LaCrosse/Danner, and Adidas.

The Chapter has given back to the Oregon and SW Washington community through support of local charities and scholarships to universities in the area. Some of the highlights of SIM Portland’s community outreach and philanthropy includes:

  • Over $500,000 awarded since 2001 to deserving students in the information pipeline at four local Universities. The lion's share of these funds are generated by SIM Portland’s highly acclaimed and well attended Annual Golf tournament.
  • Annual STEM outreach program that has reached over 15,000 kids in the middle and high school level since 2011. This program involves SIM members who are partnered with college students to present at various schools. Their activity focuses on career paths into the Information Technology fields
  • Annual Tech-tours for students from our partner universities to local businesses to highlight various Information Technology implementations and industry-specific career paths.
  • Participation by Portland SIM Members in local university advisory boards for BIS/MIS programs

Chapter programs are held monthly from September through May of the following year, traditionally on the second Wednesday evening of each month.

St. Louis Chapter Website The St. Louis Chapter of SIM was formed in 2004 through the efforts of Bob Rouse, Eric Gorham, Judy Winkler, David Kocs, Terry Werner and many RLF graduates. The first meeting was held at Southwestern Bell (now ATT) in May 2004 with Darwin John as the speaker. Geographically, the chapter includes the metropolitan St. Louis region, including surrounding counties in Missouri and Illinois; the region is home to 2.9 million people, 16 colleges and universities, and 9 Fortune 500 companies.

The St. Louis SIM Charter was received at the New York SIMposium in the fall of 2004. Since then many chapter members have served on national SIM boards and committees.

From its beginning the Chapter concentrated on leadership programs at monthly meetings. In 2006 it established the annual Leadership Workshop, a 2.5-day event featuring CIO leaders and networking opportunities. In 2007 Paul Klover organized the first Charity Golf Tournament; it annually provides scholarships for undergraduate students in greater St. Louis. The Chapter is also the primary organizer of a large annual technology conference, Gateway to Innovation, which includes biotech, healthcare, government, and information technology. Drawing 1,400 participants, high-tech start-ups, 50 vendors and leading speakers, the conference provides a forum for the community to meet and highlight progress and developments. The conference also gives back into the local community, donating more than $825,00 since the first year.

The chapter has given back to the community in many ways. The chapter has provided over 20 educational scholarships in recent years. It has helped Edgewood Center and Therapeutic Horsemanship, providing needed development and systems support for information technology to support their services and administration.
