Chapter Pages
Strong chapters that promote and practice knowledge management are key to the success of our Society. KMPro is proud to now have more than 40 chapters forming with chapter representation in North America, Asia, South America, Europe, Middle East, and Australia and more chapters being added weekly!
The purpose of these chapters is to provide a local forum for your personal and professional development; provide an opportunity to develop your leadership, managerial, public speaking and group decision-making skills; provide a local KM networking arena; and to provide a way to focus regionally on knowledge management issues, yet maintain a true international connectivity.
Chapters provide an excellent way for professionals to understand and apply knowledge management first hand. They also provide a gateway to leadership roles and enhance networking experience. Chapters may host conferences, distribute newsletters, and provide their members with region-specific information that fosters professional growth. KMPro imposes NO fees upon its chapters, and any fees necessary to support the chapter are decided upon by the chapters and remain within the chapters.
All KMPro chapters are operated and controlled by the chapters and their leaders, operating within the KMPro Bylaws. Chapters exist at the city or regional levels with KMPro providing the knowledge management technology and other IT resources necessary to enhance networking and development at the chapter level. For example, KMPro provides for each chapter listservs, discussion groups, blog access, calendar access, web presence, and chapter "branded" email addresses so that members can use that as an address to readily communicate to others that they are a "KM Professional."

Interested in Starting a Chapter in Your Area?
Are you interested in starting a new KMPro chapter in your area?
KMPro depends upon the volunteer power of its membership for establishing a local presence through our chapters. If you'd like to have a KMPro chapter in your area, we're glad to know of your interest! Your first step should probably be to contact KMPro's Chapter Advisor. It would also be a good idea to use our chapter listing to contact the president of any nearby chapters.
KMPro chapters are local organizations that apply for a chapter charter to operate as a chapter of KMPro. KMPro works in partnership with its chapters, to better serve members and to advance knowledge management.
